The Lawrenceville Cooperative Ministry was recognized for serving the communities of Lawrenceville and Dacula, Gwinnett County, Georgia for many years. In addition to the support of local churches, many additional volunteers are needed to organize and deliver this service. The Lawrenceville Co-op volunteers strive to serve with Christian love, preservation of client dignity, promotion of self-responsibility, and partnership with other community service providers. Lawrenceville Co-op provides boxes of food and hygiene staples on a weekly basis. Beyond that, clients are connected to providers for help with additional needs, such as clothing and shelter. Our Chapter held a successful food drive in October donating 271 pounds of food, personal items and $250.00 in cash. We ask that readers visit the Co-op’s website to make donations. https://lawrencevilleco-op.org/
