Who We Help

You must live in our service area

We offer services to individuals and families living in Norcross, Peachtree Corners and the Gwinnett County portion of Tucker and Doraville.

If you live outside these areas, we still want you to find help:

• If you do not live in our service area, click here for other resources to find agencies that may be able to help you.

• If you live outside of Gwinnett County, contact United Way at 211 or 404-614-1000 (from a cell
  phone).

There is help available. You are not alone.

For Past Recipients:

It is okay if you are already receiving assistance from other sources, too.

We encourage you to seek out help from other sources. If you are receiving help from other agencies or organizations, that does not prevent us from helping you, too.

Identification for all adults and all children in the home

Photo ID's are required for all adults in the household and ID's for each child in the household must be presented at the time of service. (Children's ID's include Social Security Cards, Medicaid Cards, Birth Certificates, etc.) You do not have to bring all of these examples for the children, but any one will do. We need identification for everyone in the home in order to help.
