The Rotary Club of Griffin annually supports the Salvation Army by donating money and time to the Kettle Drive and the local Distribution Center. Rotarians, Interactors, family and friends staffed the kettle at the Griffin Kroger from November 18, 2016 through December 24, 2016. Salvation Army committee chairs George Granade and Wayne Gardner solicited volunteers from club and community to ring the bell.
The club donated $2,500 from its Project Fund to the kettle drive. The Griffin Rotary kettle raised $12,600.
The Rotary Club of Griffin embraces the opportunity to assist the Salvation Army in helping almost 600 families, with over 1,125 children, in receiving over 7,500 toys.
The Rotary Club of Griffin is proud of its continuing partnership with the Salvation Army.
The club adds its donation to the Kroger kettle by presenting a check to Rotarian and Salvation Army Captain Tim Blevins
