People in the area can count on Norcross Cooperative Ministries
when they are in need. The service
area includes Norcross and the Gwinnett County portions of Tucker and Doraville.
Services include food, clothing, financial aid, job ministry, classes in English

Peachtree Corners Christian Church sends financial contributions to NCM in addition
to collecting food and clothing throughout the year. We also brighten
the holidays of families in need by providing food for Thanksgiving and Christmas
baskets. Other efforts, such as our VBS-in-a-box, are hands-on
ministry opportunities.

Gwinnett Children's Shelter
Established in 1986 by three women from the Gwinnett PTA,
the shelter was established as a place of refuge for Gwinnett's abused and abandoned
children. The $2.5 million Blueprint of Hope campaign has already raised
$2 million to develop a new 125 acre campus for the program including a new
building to house up to 26 boys and girls under the age of 12. We will
be giving some of this year's pumpkin proceeds to this needy ministry in Gwinnett
County. We participate in various ways throughout the year, including
special drives such as for school supplies, as well as hands-on ministry.

Campbell-Stone Christian Center
Our church supports the Fellowship of John, an
assistance program of Campbell-Stone Christian Center, a senior retirement center.
Residents at this facility for low income seniors, often do not have enough
money left over each month to pay for major health costs such as false teeth,
eyeglasses, and prescription drugs. We contribute to this fund monthly.
