Amanda Hayhurst/Kidney Donor Match

The goal of Kidney Donor Match is to tell the personal story of every person on the kidney wait list. They believe there is great power in stories. Connections are built and empathy is born. They are passionate about helping patients find their life-saving kidney donor and raising living kidney donor awareness so that others not only feel more comfortable with donating, but excited to donate. As fellow kidney donors, they know how extraordinary it is for both the donor and recipient when someone steps up to give this incredible gift of life.

Stephen Williams/400 Pressure Wash

If you open a phone book and look under pressure washing or power washing, you will find many contractors including 400 Pressure Wash. Considering that choosing the wrong contractor can be a costly mistake, how do you select the right one for you? It’s simple. A professional pressure washing contractor will have verifiable experience. That means results you can see as well as genuine testimonials from real people.

Pressure washing is an effective cleaning technique that uses a high velocity of water to insure the exterior of your property is free from dirt and debris. Using pressure washing services consistently ensures your driveways, fences, and other exterior surfaces are maintained and spotlessly cleaned.

There are many great benefits of pressure washing such as maintaining your property by keeping it tidier and clean. Without clean exterior surfaces, filth like moss, algae, and mildew can grow on the outer surfaces of your home.

On this special episode of “Leader Dialogue”, learn how pillar organizations within Gwinnett County have joined forces in the midst of the COVID-19 crisis to attack issues such as homelessness, diminished access to healthcare, and food insecurity. Hosts Ben Sawyer and Lisa Counsell of SOAR Vision Group are joined by two special guests serving on the front lines, Scott Mawdesley and Rachel Spain.

Scott Mawdesley is the Community Outreach Director for 12 Stone Church and also serves as the Chair for Gwinnett Coalition for Health & Human Services where he is also the facilitator of the Food Insecurity response for Gwinnett County.

Rachel Spain is the External Engagement Director for Gwinnett Church and also has responsibilities with the corporate Intersect Ministry at Northpoint Community Church.

Originally formed by Sugar Hill United Methodist Church in 1991, the ministry is now supported by additional congregations, area businesses, civic organizations, schools, and individuals who generously donate food, clothing, financial resources, and committed volunteer efforts. 12 Stone Church and Gwinnett Church are two of many partners in the North Gwinnett Co-Op.
