Food Drive

GRIFFIN CENTRE COLLECTS 1900 POUNDS OF FOOD AND $770! During the holiday season Griffin Centre staff ran its Annual Food Drive to collect food and personal care products for their clients in need. The Centre serves many families struggling to provide basic needs to their children (i.e housing, food, clothing). Staff competed to see who could collect the most non-perishable goods, a competition inwhich everyone is a winner. This year the need was so great that all items collected went directly to support Griffin Centre’s clients and families. The Drive reached new heights with a generous donation from Joseph Mimran & Associates of JoeFRESH apparel.
