Gwinnett Clean & Beautiful is teaming up with the Gwinnett Coalition for Health and Human Services to support local veterans ahead of Veterans Day Nov. 11 and during Great Days of Service 2021. Now through Oct. 21, the nonprofit will collect items 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday at One Justice Square Building, 446 West Crogan St. in Lawrenceville to benefit the Gwinnett Veterans Resource Center.
The Gwinnett Coalition’s GVRC provides information, referrals, and resources in a welcoming environment that honors military service members and their families for their service and sacrifice to our country.
“The recent evacuation from Kabul and the heartbreaking loss of 13 young service members served as a stark reminder that our active-duty military and veterans are willing to make the ultimate sacrifice for us and our allies,” said Schelly Marlatt, Executive Director of GCB. “Great Days of Service is a wonderful time for our organization to join together with our neighbors throughout Gwinnett County to say thank you for their service, sacrifice and selflessness through the provision of items our local veterans desperately need.”
Items being collected include bottled water, hand sanitizer, non-perishable microwavable meals, plastic cutlery, travel size lotion, shampoo, conditioner and body wash.
Drop off donations into clearly marked collection bins inside the lobby or call 770-822-5187 to have donations collected curbside. Anyone seeking curbside help should call to schedule a time and date or call 30 minutes in advance if dropping off the same day.
