LAWRENCEVILLE, Ga. – Peach State Federal Credit Union has donated $3,000 to Family Promise of Gwinnett County to support its mission to end homelessness in Gwinnett. The organization connects local resources to help homeless children and their families regain their housing as well as their independence.
“Gwinnett County has the third highest total homeless population in the state of Georgia and more of our neighbors are experiencing homelessness than ever before in light of the pandemic,” said Carol Love, executive director for Family Promise. “This donation will help provide resources for our administrative headquarters so that the families and volunteers that we work with have a stable home base.”
