Lawrenceville Cooperative Ministry calls for more donations
The Lawrenceville Co-op has served as a place for people to rely on for more than 20 years, but they say they've never seen so many families in need.
Lawrenceville Co-Op Ministry has been helping families for 25 years.
Right now they're helping more families than ever before, and it's taking a toll on their inventory.
The organization needs as much help as they can with donations and volunteers.
The organization depends on donations of food and personal items from churches, individuals, schools, grocery stores, scout troops, and many other organizations.
