Where Can I Donate Food?
Thanks to the Rotary Club of Gwinnett - Sunrise (formerly Snellville Rotary Club) for organizing a food drive for SE Coop in March 2008.
To Drop Off Donations to the Food Pantry:
Food can be dropped off during normal hours of operation, however the food bank is open on Tuesday and Thursday from 10am-12pm JUST for food item drop off. This allows the staff of the Southeast Co-op to focus on the clients during normal operating hours.

- Using Coupons To Help Charities
- No more excuses for not giving to the food bank...when a jar of Ragu Spaghetti Sauce is on sale for $1.50, and you have a coupon for .50 cents off that is doubled to $1.00 off at your store, do you know what you have? You have a 50-cent jar of spaghetti sauce you can donate to the local food bank....this is just one example.
