Temporary Housing for Children whose families have been evicted and are living on the street or in their car
Helping people in their community has been the mission of Norcross Cooperative Ministry for 31 years. Relying on volunteers and donations from the community to keep them operating year-round, Norcross Cooperative Ministry assists up to 70 families per day with temporary emergency financial assistance such as helping to pay bills, rent, clothing, and food. As more families face long-term needs due to fixed incomes, homelessness, abuse, language barriers, single parent homes and many other circumstances, the work of Norcross Cooperative Ministries becomes even more vital to health and strength of our Peachtree Corners / Norcross community.
