Tis the Season to Serve

At Johns Creek UMC, we recognize that all families deserve to have a great Christmas, despite their financial situation. Every year, we work with the Norcross Cooperative Ministry and other nearby churches to provide toys, gift cards, meals, and friendship to those who need it during this time of year.
There are multiple levels and methods of participation through our Adopt A Family, Sponsor A Child,  and Merry Market programs. Everyone can get involved, regardless of age, schedule, financial situation, or comfort level. We encourage every JCUMC family to be involved in two key way - giving gifts and giving your time.

About the NeighborhoodCooperative Ministry

Previously known as Norcross Cooperative Ministries, NCM is a faith-based, non-profit, ecumenical ministry dedicated to providing emergency assistance to families in Norcross, Georgia and surrounding areas of Gwinnett County. NCM is supported by twenty three local churches and numerous businesses, civic and social organizations, foundations, and individuals.

They now serve 50 to 70 families per day from a 12,000 square foot facility. Over the years, services have expanded to more than just a food pantry.  They have on-site hiring events, job readiness classes, money management courses and regular health fairs. The ministry also works closely with local agencies to help meet the many needs of their clients and to develop better ways to serve the community.
