‘I’m going to continue to build up Englewood’: CPD officer plants seeds of hope for kids in the community – CBS2 (Chicago)

Griffin started a nonprofit organization in 2017 called No Matter What. He and other officers invest in the youth who have experienced trauma with mental health healing, job readiness training and mentorship. After Whole Foods closed its doors near 63rd and Halsted, Griffin gathered the kids in the neighborhood and built a community garden.

This is grass roots.

This should be celebrated and emulated.

This is probably already old news that we won’t hear any more about in MSM.

Kudos, officer!
