GIVE Help

As our community responds to the spread of coronavirus, the need for emergency food in our service area has greatly increased. Many who have never needed to come to The North Gwinnett Co-Op for help now need assistance – and the seniors, children and families who rely on our services need us more than ever. During the months of March and April, the North Gwinnett Co-Op has distributed more food than it did in ALL OF 2019!!! The need for food and financial assistance are 3 times more than when the crisis began, and lines for help are longer than ever.

Hours for Donations: Monday Noon-8pm, Wednesday-Friday 10am-4pm, Saturday 10am-2pm. Please bring all donations to the back of the building.

Please note our thrift store is closed for renovations. We are accepting food donations only – no thrift store donations.
