We are in unprecedented times. This calls for all hands on deck!
This year, Gwinnett Great Days of Service (GDOS) will be traveling down a different road for its service days in October. The Coronavirus has hit Gwinnett hard and impacted all of us in many different & challenging ways. Many in our community are struggling to meet basic needs such as food, cleaning supplies and personal care items.
Our helping agencies are in very short supply and this is where we can all make a real difference by holding a collection, sorting, delivering, helping!
Gwinnett Great Days of Service will be organizing collections of items from October 1 to October 22 in various venues across the county: neighborhoods, families, schools, business offices, churches, medical centers and wherever there is an opportunity to help meet needs.
The GDOS planning team will be organizing collection sites and volunteers to pick up, sort, count and deliver to front line service providers.
