SWGC and Alliance of Norcross-Peachtree Corners Hold Food Drive to Help Feed Kids

The Southwest Gwinnett Chamber of Commerce (SWGC) has completed a local food drive to help area students who experience food insecurity. In many cases, the only meal of the day the children are sure to receive is the one that’s provided at school.

These students face hunger while school is closed during the Thanksgiving and Winter breaks.

SWGC’s Executive Director Beth Coffey joined forces with Terri Hoye, director of the Alliance of Norcross-Peachtree Corners (Alliance NPC), to collect food and donations and fill boxes with food items.

Before the school breaks, volunteers will deliver 365 food boxes to students at Beaver Ridge Elementary, Give West, Norcross Elementary, North Metro Academy, Paul Duke STEM High, Peachtree Elementary, Pinckneyville Middle, Simpson Elementary, Stripling Elementary and Summerour Middle schools.
