Thank you, Griffin area residents! We have met our fundraising goal for the
third year. The challenge is now to meet our goal the fourth year of our
partnership with Capitol Land Trust. Help us to reach $60,000 at the end of
our fourth year.
In this time of caring and sharing, we ask
that you give to the St. Christopher's Steamboat Island Outreach and Food
Bank program. You may leave donations of
non-perishable food at the Griffin Fire Department Headquarters, during
regular business hours (weekdays before 5 PM).
Donations of winter coats and clothing, cash, housewares, holiday gifts,
even furniture and other items are also very
welcome. Contact St. Christopher's at 866-2111 to make arrangements for
donations which cannot be dropped at the fire station.
Well over a dozen families right here in the
Griffin area receive regular and needed support.
Thank you.
Tell them you saw it on the

Raise awareness within the community of a particular issue using a variety
of communication methods.

debate.
Take issues on which there is consensus to the appropriate decision
makers.
