The North Gwinnett Cooperative was formed in 1991 as a ministry that provides food, clothing, financial assistance and spiritual support to those in need in the Buford, Suwanee, and Sugar Hill communities.

Originally formed by Sugar Hill United Methodist Church in 1991, the ministry is now supported by additional congregations, area businesses, civic organizations, schools and individuals who generously donate food, clothing, and financial resources.

In 2011 we:

• Provided food and financial services to more than 14,400 people

• Winter Coats and clothing to more than 1400 people
• Raised almost $18,000 in our Thrift Store with your donations
• Provided school supplies to more than 100 kids
• Provided bread/bakery to more than 7,900 families (weekly dist.)
• Saw an average of 474 NEW families apply for assistance.  Over 1,200 of those people were Senior Citizens.
