While Gwinnett County Public Schools is on Spring Break, the their food delivery program to students is on break as well. So Gwinnett’s Cooperative Food Ministries (Co-Ops), in collaboration with GwinnettCares.org partners, are providing extra support to families with children this week.

Participants should check which site serves their ZIP code and visit their assigned Co-Op anytime during their operating hours. To receive this assistance, an ID and a piece of current mail with your address and ZIP code is required. Families may visit their Co-Op one time during the week and will be given a week’s worth of food. There is no need to call ahead, just show up. Food will be distributed in drive-through fashion to comply with social distancing guidelines.
