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!
Muzzy Family Green for Life Garden Project
GFL and Sampson County Landfill were proud to partner with Frontline Gardens, a nonprofit organization that provides therapeutic gardens for veterans injured in the line of duty. Our GFL volunteers and others were able to come together and build a raised vegetable garden for this disabled veteran and his family. Mr. Muzzy served two tours in Afghanistan and Iraq and was severely injured in a training accident. GFL was honored to join with the community to both honor the sacrifices Mr. Muzzy made for his country and to provide this garden as part of his ongoing journey.
GFL Volunteers began prepping the wood.
