The Build in Memory Of Kyara Dzenis
The Griffin Impact Community Center and Park
The Griffin Impact Center and Community Park is located at 223
Kentucky Ave. in Griffin, Georgia. This area on the north side of
Griffin is a run down, extremely poor, troubled part of town. The
center and park serves as a beacon of hope and change for the
area. The center is used as a place of learning and outreach
for the residents of the area. It helps them become more self
sufficient, thereby helping each individual reach more of his/her
potential. The park serves as a place for children in the area
to play in a safe, clean environment
Impact Race Ministries and Square Foot Ministry are striving to make
a difference right here by helping those who find themselves in need
in our community
