Salvation Army Kettle Drive

The Rotary Club of Griffin supports the Salvation Army by donating money and time to the Kettle Drive and the local Distribution Center in support of families and children, especially during the holidays. Rotarians, Interactors, family and friends staffed the kettle at the Griffin Kroger from November 29, 2024 through December 24, 2024 for a total of 172 hours. Salvation Army committee chair Andrea Griffin solicited Griffin Rotarians to ring the bell at the kettle tallying hours and community to ring the bell.  This year District Governor Gordon Owens was on hand to take a shift ringing the bell.

The club donated $2,500 from its Project Fund to the kettle drive. The Griffin Rotary kettle raised $32,479, once again beating out Kiwanis' Kettle.  This friendly competition between the two clubs raises the most funding during the holiday season for Spalding County' less fortunate.

The Rotary Club of Griffin is proud of its continuing partnership with the Salvation Army.
