Collection Needs:  NORCROSS FOOD DRIVE ENDS FRIDAY 3/19
Senior High is currently running a Food Drive contest between classes to collect food for the Norcross Coop Ministry.  We will be sending a group to serve on Saturday 3/20. They will be delivering our food drive donation, sorting and shelving.

The Service Center will begin taking collections for the following items to make it easy for you to support those in need when you’re cleaning out closets, garages, etc.  Please send only new or clean, gently-used items.  Please donate your give-aways . . . not your throw-aways! Bins are located outside the Center, and can be brought by anytime.  Students will sort and deliver donations when groups go to serve during the year (i.e. Foster Care, Quinn House, Norcross Coop Ministry, Safehouse Outreach, Atlanta Union Mission, My Sister’s House, and Meadowcreek School.)

Items Needed: Children/Adult Clothing, Coats & Shoes; Sport Equipment – usable condition (i.e. cleats, bats, gloves, racquets, helmets, etc.); toys – must be in working condition, all pieces included; books, DVD’s, CD’s – youth & teen appropriate (no Rated R); household Items – blankets, throws, towels, kitchenware, etc.; school Supplies – backpacks, new supplies, etc.; toiletries – full size & travel size needed, ie. soap, shampoo, toothpaste/toothbrush, lotion (complimentary hotel toiletries are great!)

The Student Ministries at GACS thanks everyone for contributions of goods, services, time, and money for all the community service activities that are ongoing at GACS. Thanks for making a difference in the lives of others.

Junior High Students Serve the Community

The Norcross Co-op Ministry is devoted to the poor, providing for those less fortunate in Norcross and the immediate Gwinnett area. Supported by a cultivation of local churches, numerous businesses, and individuals, this organization stands ready to shower the wealth and love of God.

Providing food, clothing, jobs, and even classes in the English language is what the Co-op is all about. Recently junior high students at GAC have been participating in the Norcross Co-op to fulfill community service hours as a mandatory class project.

GAC has long been involved in community service in Norcross, in the Greater-Atlanta area, and around the globe. The Norcross Co-op Ministry is just one way of finding a niche for service.  Reach out and touch someone in your servitude and provide an example to all around you. Hats off to the junior high students for setting this example of service!
