Feeding Our Community

During this time of the year, we're proud of the people in our community to look to GIVE in any way they can. And sometimes, helping out can be as easy as bringing a jar of peanut butter to school - as was requested of the students at Archer High this week. Peanut butter - a staple to the diets of so many and much neeed to replenish supplies for the Southeast Gwinnet Food Co-op.

Beyond peanut butter and jelly drive, Ivy Hudson, Pantry Manger at Southeast Gwinnet Cooperative Ministry has supplied a list of other items that are needed for supplying the standard box of food for our neighbors who have needs. 

As of late last week, the pantry was depleted of oatmeal, baking mixes and soap and they were low on dry beans and crackers. 

Ms. Hudson expressed a need for deodorant, dish soap, laundry soap, diapers (size 6) and shaving cream. 

If you are able to help out, you can drop off the items at the Community of Grace Church campus located at 1200 Athens Highway (Hwy 78). Hours of operation are:

• Monday 3pm to 7pm  Client Services
• Tuesday 10am to 12pm Donations only 
• Wednesday 10am to 2pm
• Thursday 10am to 12pm Donations only

Items can be dropped off during the normal Co-Op hours however we recommend dropping off from 10am-12 on both Tuesdays and Thursdays.
