Gwinnett Clean & Beautiful Motivates Public to Help Neighbors During Great Days of Service 2020

LAWRENCEVILLE, Ga. - EntSun -- Like most things in 2020, Great Days of Service will look a little different this year. Created by the Gwinnett Coalition for Health and Human Services, Great Days of Service is a cooperative and community-focused initiative. In light of the fact that so many local families have been hard-hit by COVID-19 – leaving them struggling to meet basic needs, the Coalition is mobilizing its partners to collect much-needed items like food, cleaning supplies and personal care items.  To that end, Gwinnett Clean & Beautiful (GC&B) is establishing a curbside collection site at One Justice Square Building in Lawrenceville, as well as collection bins in the lobby, for anyone who wishes to donate non-perishable food items and help their neighbors.

"This year, we are pivoting to meet the challenges presented by the global pandemic," said Schelly Marlatt, Executive Director of Gwinnett Clean & Beautiful. "Our neighbors need our help and we want to meet those needs. We're hoping that everyone who has ever taken part in our contribution to Great Days of Service in the past will take part in a new way this year so we can collect an unimaginable amount of food as a heartwarming show of that Gwinnett County spirit."
