Help feed local students and families during the holidays.
For some of our students, the only meal that they receive each day is the one that is provided at school. During the Thanksgiving and winter break, these students face hunger because school is closed.
This year you can help in many ways. This year Southwest Gwinnett Chamber and the City of Peachtree Corners are partnering with The Alliance of Norcross-Peachtree Corners to help these families.
Each year, The Alliance of Norcross-Peachtree Corners hosts a holiday food box drive for local school families. Non-perishable food is purchased for each box and a gift card is included to be used for perishable goods.
This year 458 boxes are needed to help our families.
How you can help:
Financial donations – $75 covers one box of food. You can donate here.
- Do you want to volunteer to pack and deliver to local school counselors? Volunteer here.
- Would you like to adopt a school? The math is simple. $75 x boxes. Here are the breakouts for each school:
School | BOXES |
Baldwin Elementary | 50 |
Beaver Ridge Elementary | 90 |
Norcross Elementary | 50 |
North Metro Academy | 16 |
Paul Duke STEM High School | 40 |
Peachtree Elementary - Adopted by Impact Peachtree Corners | 30 |
Pinckneyville Middle School | 22 |
Simpsonwood Elementary | 30 |
Stripling Elementary | 100 |
