The Military Affairs Committee was created by the Griffin-Spalding Chamber of Commerce in 2006 to recognize veteran contributions to our community and to respond to their concerns. The Committee is a registered 501(c)3 Charitable organization.
​
​
The GSMAC meets at 10:30 AM. on the second Tuesday of each month at the Griffin Spalding Chamber of Commerce Welcome Center, located at 143 North Hill Street. All are welcome – there is no “membership” requirement. We welcome everyone who has a heart to help veterans in our community.

––OUR MISSION ––
➤ Promote community awareness for veteran needs
➤ Eradicate homelessness within our Veteran population
➤ Drive the acquisition and establishment of an impactful transition center shelter for local Homeless Veterans
➤ Erect and maintain memorials for Fallen Veterans
➤ Coordinate Veteran activities within our community, primarily Memorial and Veterans Day Celebrations
➤ Promote military goodwill within our community
Spalding County has almost 5,000 veterans. 99%+ are typical productive citizens supporting their families and moving through life as we all do. Sadly, though, we
have homeless veterans made so by a myriad of reasons.Our best estimate is between 100 and 130 homeless vets are Spalding County residents on any given day. They have served our country honorably and deserve a hand up. They, too, can have happy, satisfying lives and a positive future if only we make the commitment to help and give them that second chance.
