• Local Food Pantry Expands Access to Food Assistance (hotspotatl.com) — A major expansion of The Pantry at Hamilton Mill is underway in Dacula, where a new 8,400-square-foot warehouse on Pine Road will greatly increase local food assistance capacity. Once finished in about eight to nine months, the facility is expected to triple the number of families served and may eventually host financial literacy and job-training programs for Gwinnett County residents.
