Victory Church in Norcross, along with other local churches and educational cooperatives in the Atlanta area, are working together to help meet the food and educational needs of schoolchildren who are sheltering in place at home due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The community is working together to ensure kids who normally receive meals at school will not go hungry. In addition, more than 1,100 children in the 9-mile radius immediately surrounding the Norcross church campus have no means at home for distance learning, so the church is collecting functional tablets and laptop donations.

Church campuses are serving as drop-off locations for the most-needed items: canned fruit, soup, canned chicken, pasta sauce, mixed vegetables, jelly, peanut butter, boxed cereal, meal-in-a-can, soap, shampoo, deodorant, toothpaste, and functional iPads and laptops.

Items can be dropped off between 2 and 7 p.m. Sundays through Wednesdays at Victory Norcross, 5905 Brook Hollow Pkwy. in Norcross or Victory Hamilton Mill, 3015 Pucketts Mill Rd. in Buford.
