GWINNETT COUNTY, Ga. - Unemployment numbers across the state are continuing to rise. Because of this, many families are without much income and it makes it difficult to provide for their families.

Lawrenceville Cooperative Ministry calls for more donations

The Lawrenceville Co-op has served as a place for people to rely on for more than 20 years, but they say they've never seen so many families in need.

Lawrenceville Co-Op Ministry has been helping families for 25 years.

Right now they're helping more families than ever before, and it's taking a toll on their inventory.

The organization needs as much help as they can with donations and volunteers.

The organization depends on donations of food and personal items from churches, individuals, schools, grocery stores, scout troops, and many other organizations.
