Tim Griffith Foundation

History In September 2004, 21-year-old Tim Griffith was killed in a senseless and devastating act of violence. Tim’s mother, Stacey Redman, created the Tim Griffith Foundation in 2005 to carry Tim’s memory forward. Through the exceptional partnership with the Bridges Program and the Service League of San Mateo County, Tim’s House was born. Tim’s House provides transitional housing for young men recovering from addiction and returning to society after incarceration. We sponsor a counselor at Seqouia High School in Redwood City who counsels at risk high school students coming out of juvenille hall or community schools back into mainstream high school. This is a difficult and vulnerable time for these young adults and we are proud to say that 16 out of 17 students in the program have graduated from high school. In 2010 we began providing direct services through the creation of the unique Meadowlark Retreats for grieving mothers. Today, we provide a variety of services to the community through a combination of financial support and our signature programs.
