Community Events & Engagement
It’s always been a vital part of our mission to take care of the communities we serve. We are not just a business partner with Sampson County, but also a community partner, making a difference through multiple avenues. The GFL team continues to support the Sampson County community and go the extra mile by engaging with various groups and donating time and funds to various projects!
