About

About This Program

When funds allow, help with apartment rent, utilities and prescriptions for Norcross-area families. Financial help is now for new families only.

Neighborhood Cooperative Ministries (NCM) serves people living in Norcross, Peachtree Corners and the Gwinnett County parts of Tucker and Doraville. When funds are available, it gives limited help with apartment rent, electricity, gas and water bills, and prescriptions, paid by check directly to the landlord, utility or pharmacy; hotel stays are covered by voucher under specific rules. Because of recent funding changes, emergency financial assistance is currently available only to new families. Families helped before can call 770-263-8268 for other resources. NCM also runs a food pantry on Monday, Wednesday and Friday, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., and a Tuesday evening drive-thru.
