The School Buzz: Colorado Springs non-profit promotes ‘Gives Day’ as opportunity to help its students
Josh Helmuth
Griffith Centers is using funds from Colorado Gives Day to support a special Food-To-Table curriculum for its students at its Colorado Springs campus.
Colorado Gives Day is an annual movement that encourages donations to non-profits across Colorado; It runs for roughly a month until December 9; Griffith Centers is just one non-profit where people can donate.
Griffith Centers – formerly Griffith Centers For Children – house, educate and treat children in need of a permanent home. Part of their mission is supporting their J. Wilkins Opportunity School. Through Colorado Gives Day donations, they will spend that money supporting their Farm-To-Table Culinary Arts Program, where 3rd through 12th grade students get hands-on learning in horticulture and gastronomy, which is the art of choosing, cooking and eating good food.
You can donate to Griffith Center’s mission through Colorado Gives Day here.
