What is a GBU Life District?
A district is made up of 20 or more GBU members that get together for service, fellowship and fun! District members enrich the communities they live in by promoting GBU's four Community Pillars—Wellness, Education, Charitable Giving and Hometown Hero Support through events and activities. From volunteering at a pet shelter to sponsoring a little league team, GBU districts give back to the community in a variety of ways. Learn more about existing GBU districts, where they are located, the causes they support, and how you can join one.
