“The place was a blessing to me and my children.” These words remind us why the work we do at Neighborhood Cooperative Ministries matters. When families face difficult seasons, having a place to turn for help can make all the difference. Through practical support, compassionate care, and a community that cares, we hope every family who walks through our doors feels seen, supported, and encouraged. We are grateful for the opportunity to be a blessing to families in our community and to share God’s love when it is needed most. See how you can get involved by going to ourncm.org #servingourcommunity

When a sudden rent increase left Lashawna, her mother, and family living in their car, NCM and its partners helped encourage Lashawna toward a new path. NCM gave her more than help and a hand up. Thanks @seesparkgo for capturing Lashawna's testimony.

Thanks @gottarun_kids The kids are really taking this project to heart! Including today’s contributions, they already collected over 1217 food items for @ourncm , 800 more since September.

Join this virtual Lunch n' Learn! Wednesday, October 21st at 12pm. A collaboration of community partners to provide stats from Gwinnett food pantries (including Neighborhood Cooperative Ministries). They will also share tips for making healthy choices in food pantries and using pantry staples to make healthy meals. I have a lot of resources to share! You don't want to miss it. Shoutout to @goodsamgwinnett and @acfb

Fresh food, healthier meals, and one less thing to worry about. 🥕🍎 Our food pantry helps local families put fresh fruits and vegetables on the table, giving them more options to prepare nutritious meals at home.

Check our website (ourncm.org) and to learn more about pantry hours and how to qualify for all of our services Thank you to everyone who helps make this possible for our neighbors!

Learning English can open doors to new opportunities! 🙋 Our ESOL classes help adults build the English skills they use every day from communicating with their children’s teachers and speaking with a doctor to applying for jobs and connecting with their community. Each class is a step toward greater confidence, independence, and a stronger future for their families. We’re thankful for the teachers and volunteers who help our neighbors build these skills and move forward! #NCM #ESOL #CommunityImpact #NeighborsHelpingNeighbors

What an incredible event last Thursday! Together, we raised over $607,000 to help local families in need. We also joyfully honored Shirley, whose faith and vision helped build this ministry. As she begins her well-deserved retirement at the end of this year, you are helping carry her legacy forward and grow this ministry for years to come. From those who filled the room with joy and energy, to those who joined us from home, to the volunteers who made the evening possible, Thank You! Your generosity and support are what make this work possible. Celebration is a reminder of what can happen when a community comes together. We are so grateful for each person who gave, served, encouraged, and helped make the evening so memorable. Thank you for being part of Celebration 2026. Enjoy a few photos from this special night! More to come!

We’d love for you to be there! Register with the link in our profile.

Food or medicine? For too many families, it’s not a choice they should have to make. 66% of food bank recipients report having to choose between putting food on the table and paying for medicine. When groceries are covered by a food pantry, families have a little more room to take care of the other needs. Check out our critical food list to see what we need help supplying to our families. Go to ourncm.org

This month, in partnership with @georgiaopportunity , 16 neighbors will kick off a Better Work class using the Jobs for Life curriculum here on campus at NCM. Participants will be paired with a Champion—someone who will show up consistently, offer encouragement and walk alongside them throughout the eight-week program. The only requirement is a willingness to show up for someone who has already made the decision to show up for themselves. Champions meet in person at NCM on Mondays and Wednesdays from 10 a.m.–12:30 p.m. for eight weeks. Email JobsForLifeClass@ourncm.org to learn more.

Good businesses don’t just serve a community—they invest in it. We are incredibly thankful for the corporate pillar sponsors supporting this year’s Good Neighbor Celebration on Thursday, October 1. Their generosity helps us continue providing practical help, resources, and hope to families in our community. We’re proud to have these businesses standing alongside @ourncm and the neighbors we serve. Thank you @mingledorffsllc and @associatedcu for being part of the NCM family! For more information on the event, go to the link in our profile.

We’d love to see you! Our food pantry hours are Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 10am - 2pm and Tuesdays from 4pm - 7pm.

Thanks @gottarun_kids The kids are really taking this project to heart! Including today’s contributions, they already collected over 400 food items for @ourncm with 6 weeks to go

After 19 years of dedicated service, we’re saying goodbye to our Warehouse Manager, Jim. For nearly two decades, he has been an important part of making sure food gets purchased and put where it needs to go and more importantly that our warehouse functions smoothly. His hard work, reliability, and commitment to our neighbors have made a lasting difference at Neighborhood Cooperative Ministries We are incredibly grateful for the many years he has given to NCM and the community. Thank you, Jim, for 19 years of service. You will be missed! ❤️ Praying for your next journey.🙏

Once a month, we take a little time to serve the people who serve our community. 🌭 Hot Dog Day is our small way of saying thank you to our amazing volunteers for the time, energy and heart they give to NCM. We’re grateful for each of you!

When I came to NCM, I was facing challenges that shook my stability and wellbeing. The hardest part was being separated from my children. I wanted more than anything to bring my family back together, so I committed to the program and accepted the support offered. With hotel assistance, guidance, and resources, I worked hard to meet the requirements to reunite with my children. Today, we are together again, and I’ve secured full-time employment. I finally feel hopeful about our future. Destiny.

We are grateful for the companies and teams who step away from their everyday work to serve alongside us, doing tasks like sorting and organizing clothing donations. Thanks Emerson Rogers for your willingness to serve. #servingthecommunity

This is what community looks like. Small acts of service can make a big difference for our neighbors. Check out our volunteer opportunities on our website. ourncm.org

Check our needs for the week: children clothes, pots, pans and utensils.

Men, we would love for you to join us for a meaningful morning of connection, encouragement and inspiration. Mark Goodman will share his powerful story of forgiveness, freedom and redemption and challenge us to consider what it means to live with purpose and love our neighbors well.

These two young ladies had a passion to serve people that they will never meet. They called and asked could they do a food drive. We said "Absolutely" and they began to spread the word and food was collected in their community. As a result, they are helping families with their willingness to get out of their comfort zone and collect needed items. Every amount can give our families hope. #servingthecommunity #YouthServingCommunity

Some of the everyday items we take for granted are basic needs for the families we serve. Items like diapers, toilet paper, paper towels, deodorant, shampoo, soap, toothpaste. A lot of these items can not be purchased with food stamps or SNAP benefits. So when purchasing your non-food items, consider getting a little extra for another family that may be facing challenges times. Donations can be dropped off Monday - Friday from 9am - 3:30pm.

Meet Yi-Ling. For years, Yi-Ling has faithfully served our neighbors through NCM. When she noticed many clients spoke Spanish, she saw an opportunity to serve them better and began learning the language. Nearly three years later, she hasn’t missed a single day of practice! Yi-Ling reminds us that making a difference starts with a willing heart and a commitment to show up. We’re grateful for her compassion, dedication, and service to our neighbors. #servingthecommunity #volunteering

We're on track to distribute over 740,000 lbs of food this year — up from 702,000 lbs last year and just 498,000 lbs two years ago! We doubled our distribution frequency for families in need — and the results speak for themselves. More visits. More meals. More families served. Thank you for being part of this growth. Go to our website ourncm.orgto see how you can be a part of serving the community.

Whether serving for a few hours or returning throughout the year, every volunteer helps make it possible for us to meet the growing needs of our community. Thank you for being part of the mission! Ready to make a difference? Gather your friends, family, coworkers, or community group and join us in serving our neighbors. Every helping hand brings hope to someone in need. Go to our website ourncm.org to see the current volunteer needs.

Hunger doesn't keep office hours. When our doors are closed, our Little Free Food Pantry remains open 24/7, providing neighbors with access to a few essential groceries whenever they're needed. 🍞🥒🍏 Need a little help? Take what you need. Want to help someone else? Leave what you can. Together, we can make sure there's always something on the shelf for a neighbor in need.

As the school year begins, we’re reflecting with gratitude for an incredible summer of #VacationBibleSchool. More than 280 children participated this year, creating memories and experiencing the love of Christ each week. This summer was a true success because of our amazing community partners. Their support helped us welcome every child who walked through our doors and share God’s love throughout the summer. Thank you to everyone who helped make VBS possible! #vacationbibleschool #servingtogether #servingthecommunity

This month's health fair will be something special. Share the word and bring a friend. It is free and open to the public. Lots of giveaways. No registration required. #servingthecommunity #healthfair

Every month Neighborhood Cooperative Ministries host a Health and Resource Fair for the families we serve. This month we are offering some special items for our families. Thanks to @jambosdonates and Capital City Home Loans, LLC for supporting this month's event on Friday, August 7th. To get more information about this monthly event, email donna@ourncm.org

Small hands. Big hearts. Some amazing young volunteers turned ordinary boxes into a mission of hope, collecting food for neighbors experiencing homelessness. Thank you for showing that kindness can make a lasting difference. Check out our website ourncm.org or the link in our profile of both critical food items and volunteer opportunities.

From pantry staples to sweet treats, every donation helps us provide more than food. It is a reminder that our families are supported by a community that cares. Consider a food drive with your church, school or civic group. Every amount is helping families in need.

Nearly 20% of children across the country are experiencing food insecurity and in some rural counties, child food insecurity rates are estimated to be as high as 50%, according to Feeding America’s annual Map the Meal Gap study. Our food pantry continues to expand, providing families with more healthy, nutritious options than ever before. In addition to pantry staples and canned goods, families can now choose from a variety of fresh meats, fruits, vegetables, breads, and other fresh foods, helping them prepare balanced meals that nourish both body and spirit. Each week we update our critical food needs, and we would love it if you'd consider a food drive to help put food on the table of our families.

Last year, we distributed 68,256 articles of clothing, giving children, parents, and families the essentials they needed with dignity. Now, as students prepare to head back to school, we need your help to provide clothing that gives every child the confidence to start the school year strong.

❤️ Making a Difference in Our Neighborhood isn't just a slogan. It's what our volunteers do every day. Check out the volunteer needs that we have on our website 👉 www.ourncm.org/help-us-serve/

Join us on Friday, August 7th for our monthly Health & Resource Fair! More than 20 community organizations will be available to provide free information, resources, and services designed to help families thrive. Whether you're looking for health screenings, educational opportunities, financial guidance, or community support, there's something for everyone.

While the children enjoy Vacation Bible School, moms are investing in themselves. Each week, moms are invited to participate in classes covering parenting, financial literacy, healthy cooking, and other life skills designed to help them build stronger families and brighter futures.

💙 Financial stability starts with access to the right resources. Thanks to our partnership with PNC, the Mobile Banking Van visits NCM twice a month to provide our neighbors with convenient access to financial education, banking support, and helpful tools. Small steps today can help build a stronger tomorrow. MARK YOUR CALENDARS: The next visit is Monday, August 3rd from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. We hope to see you there!

Vacation Bible School is still underway! Each week on Wednesday, children ages 4–12 gather to learn about the love of Christ through engaging lessons, activities, and fellowship. This free program is made possible by the generosity of our community partners, who volunteer their time to host each session. Light snacks are provided, and everyone is welcome!

It’s that time again! Our monthly Senior Day is coming up, and we can’t wait to see our amazing seniors (65+). You can join us on Tuesday, July 21st at 10 a.m. for connection, support, and a welcoming space just for you. Invite a friend.
