One initiative led by the North Gwinnett Co-Op is the Second Blessings Thrift Store, which offers desirable merchandise at affordable prices, with proceeds going directly back into the community. In addition to accepting donations for new or gently used household items and clothing for men, women and children, the store is seeking volunteers to keep operations running smoothly.
