While some of the zip codes span multiple county lines, this program is only available to residents of Gwinnett County.
Scott Mawdesley, Community Outreach Director for 12Stone Church and Gwinnett Coalition for Health & Human Services Board Chair, has been leading the charge on this effort. Mawdesley says, “This is an especially difficult time for many families in our community. We are doing everything we can to ensure they have access to basic needs. The effects of COVID-19 have hit hard and fast. We have an amazing group of community leaders and non-profit agencies that have formed a response team to help address critical needs as they unfold.” The gap in food access during spring break is the first this group has locked arm-in-arm to tackle. Mawdesley explains, “We are relying heavily on our comprehensive cooperative ministry network across Gwinnett to make this happen. Other non-profit partners will be providing supplemental food programs targeting certain geographic areas, families with transportation challenges, and others with special needs.” Some of the partnering non-profits include Salvation Army, Nothing But The Truth, JM Tull Gwinnett Family YMCA, Village of Hope, Street Wise, the Atlanta Community Food Bank, and a multitude of churches.
Now is the time for our community to step up and care for each other through this crisis. If you are able and willing to give money or food or money to support this effort, please visit GwinnettCares.org to donate to relief funds or find a convenient drop-off location near you. 12Stone Church, Gwinnett Church, Perimeter Church, and Victory Church are hosting eight key collection sites around the county. The Community Foundation for Northeast Georgia’s COVID-19 Relief Fund has received $350,000 to-date and is actively issuing grants out to non-profits in real-time to address big surges of need around our community.
This effort is made possible thanks to the generosity of many Gwinnett citizens, businesses, and local churches pulling together to help take care of each other through COVID-19.
