Griffins defense players, Greg Amadio and Logan Pyett, will switch to offense to hand out coats to those in need at Guiding Light Mission. Joining their team will be five members of the Griffins’ front office staff. The distribution will take place on Thursday, Nov. 4 at 2 p.m. in the chapel.
The coats were part of a drive that was conducted from Sept. 27 to Oct. 15 by Fox V.O.I.C.E. Hundreds of items were donated through the coat drive. Guiding Light Mission spend two days sorting and organizing the items from blankets, coats, hats, and gloves for men, women, and children.
The pick-up opportunity is open to men in the S.T.A.R.T. program and their families as well as men in the emergency shelter. The rest of the items will be handed out to other agencies for distribution.
Donations were accepted at the Grand Rapids Griffins front office located at the Van Andel Arena, as well as at all 18 Fox Motors dealership locations, including the following in Grand Rapids: Delta Imports, Fox Acura, Fox Ford Mazda, Fox Honda, Fox Hyundai Kia, Fox Nissan, Fox Pontiac GMC, Fox Saab, and Fox Yamaha.
The goal at Guiding Light Mission is to serve its clients. The drive conducted by Fox V.O.I.C.E. means that men in the shelter and their families will not be cold this winter.
