On Friday, boxes upon boxes of food and personal care items were delivered to the Southeast Gwinnett Cooperative Ministry courtesy of local schools hoping to give back during the county’s Great Days of Service.

“It was wonderful,” said Laura Drake, who is the Southeast Gwinnett Co-op director. “It’s just a wonderful event every year.”

The Southeast Gwinnett Coop was one of nine co-ops that received donations from about 100 Gwinnett County schools on Friday.
