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.

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.
