MARIETTA â Jeriene Grimes knows people are hurting this year. She knows for many families, this will be the toughest Christmas theyâve ever had. And she knows that in tough times, itâs community organizations that have to step in.
So Grimes, president of the Cobb County Chapter of the NAACP, is leading an effort by the organization to give back this holiday season by organizing a toy drive for local families.
âIt is the reason for the season,â Grimes said. âIf you can at least impact somebodyâs life in a positive way, especially in light of all the tragic things that have happened in the world, it is truly enlightening and enriching for us as an organization.â
