Maybe you've spent decades in leadership. So what more is there to learn?

When Chris Cannon, executive director of Create Gwinnett, heard about LIFT leadership training through CFNEG and Long Table Consulting, he doubted the training could offer him any new tools or advice.

After SNAP benefits were delayed last fall, many families turned to local nonprofits! Thanks to the generosity of our community, we were able to distribute $5,000 grants to several organizations like StreetWise and the North Gwinnett Co-Op that are fighting food insecurity. 🥘

[Community Foundation @CFNEG]

"Every single action matters, and together, we can make sure no family feels the weight of the food insecurity crisis alone," shared Kim Phillips, executive director of North Gwinnett Co-Op.

She wanted to create an environment where their needs could be individually addressed.

“What a child needs to really thrive is something that is catered to them and created by people who have a unique understanding of that child, their challenges and their goals,” said Jamie Hamilton, the school’s executive director.

For decades, the Special Needs Schools of Gwinnett (SNS) never looked like much on the outside — from its beginnings in a converted church storage closet to its campus of trailers and two ranch-style houses.

But it’s always been a welcoming place for children with special needs.

“Our doors would have closed a long time ago if what was happening inside these rooms wasn’t something really special,” said Jamie Hamilton, the school’s executive director and Community Foundation for Northeast Georgia board member.

"This generous grant from the Community Foundation will support the transformation of the extended stay hotel into a safe and affordable place for our most vulnerable community members."

We're grateful for the opportunity to help others find housing stability! 🏠
