The Build in Memory Of Kyara Dzenis
The Griffin Impact Community Center and Park
October 1, 2011
The Griffin Impact Center and Community Park will be 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 will serve as a beacon of hope and change for the
area. The center will be used as a place of learning and outreach
for the residents of the area. It will help them become more self
sufficient, thereby helping each individual reach more of his/her
potential. The park will serve 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

Join us for the final build day in Griffin, Georgia for the final
installation stages of the Community Park. This park and playground
is being built off Kentucky Ave., in Griffin. A large group of
Churches and Civic organizations as well as other non-profits have
come together to make this park a reality.
Work on the park will start at 8:00 A.M. and will take about 7 hours
to complete. Work will included planting trees and bushes, pouring
concrete for swings and climbing equipment and a picnic shelter. At
5:00 P.M. join us as we invite the neighbors to dinner.
After a day's work, we all gather in the evening for food and
fun.
The event is open to youth groups as well as
individuals, and there is no charge to participate.
