Get Help, Give Help

There are Cooperative Ministries located throughout the county. Most provide food to those who need it. Some provide clothing and a few provide household items.

I haven't spoken directly to the individual groups but I'm pretty sure they could all use donations about now.... It's not difficult to check your pantry for some food items or buy a few things on sale to donate. There are drop boxes at businesses and churches throughout the community or you can donate directly to the organizations. Most people like to donate to the one that would help their neighbors.

Here are some of the local organizations. They accept a variety of donations and provide a variety of services so check their individual web pages for details.

Norcross and surrounding area - Norcross Cooperative Ministry
Buford, Suwanee, & Sugar Hill - North Gwinnett Cooperative
Lawrenceville & Dacula - Lawrenceville Cooperative Ministry
Snellville, Grayson, & Loganville - SE Gwinnett Cooperative Ministry
Lilburn, Stone Mountain, Tucker (parts) - Lilburn Cooperative Ministry
Duluth Area - Duluth Cooperative Ministry

If you know of other food bank types of places, please leave a comment & I'll add them to the list. THANKS!
