Greater Hansville Community Center

For the past fifty years, the mission of the Greater Hansville Community Center (GHCC) has been to provide a gathering place to host events, connect with other people and build community. GHCC has no paid staff and operates solely on volunteer effort. In 2024 we renewed our ground lease with the County and replaced our septic system.

GHCC organizes a number of programs for children, namely, the Easter Egg Hunt, the Halloween Carnival and the Children's Christmas Party. We hold a Neighbor's Lunch every month between September and May featuring speakers on a variety of topics and an informational series titled Tuesday Talks. Past presenters include the State Department of Fish and Wildlife and Kitsap Animal Rescue and Education. Last October we held a Candidates Night, in which fourteen candidates for State and County office participated in a panel discussion and met with the public

We hold Spring and Fall Book Sales, the "Junk in the Trunk" Community Garage Sale , the Spring Fling Artisan Market and Chili Cook Off fundraiser.  We partnered with Hansville Helping Hands to hold a food drive in August. In 2025 we plan to reprise "Discover Hansville: a Community Open House" in which representatives from County departments and local non-profits staff display booths and answer questions from the general public.

In 2024 GHCC awarded $8,500 in scholarships to support local college students.  We act as a fiscal agent for several  small, local, non-profit agencies. Local non-profit organizations such as the Flotsam and Jetsam Garden Club and the Hansville Greenway rent the facility at reduced rates.

Since, everyone needs fun and entertainment, we are holding a Cinco de Mayo Celebration (Tres de Mayo this year) and the  Hansville Car Show in July. We publicize our events and those of other non-profit agencies through our monthly online newsletter the Hansville Log
