At the Community Foundation for Northeast Georgia, everything they do centers around one purpose: improving the world through the power of philanthropy.

On a fundamental level, they do that through managing funds held in trust, donated by individuals, organizations, and businesses. Most funds are donor-advised funds, similar to savings accounts. These funds are pooled for investment purposes, and their income is used to make grants for a wide variety of charitable purposes.

But the Foundation’s goals extend far beyond managing funds. They desire to strengthen the communities they serve in Gwinnett, Northeast Georgia, and beyond by providing leadership, addressing community needs, and assisting individuals and organizations with their charitable giving.

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. Intersect Ministry helps identify external organizations who have aligned missions and instead of duplicating efforts, the church “comes alongside” to help augment their functions.

The North Gwinnett Co-Op was formed in 1991 as a ministry that provides food, clothing, financial assistance, and spiritual support to those in need in the Buford, Suwanee, and Sugar Hill communities. 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.
