Quinn House Selected for Operation Round-Up
We want to thank Randy Dillinger, the board of directors, and volunteer members at the Jackson Electric Membership Coop for choosing us a recipient again this year for their Operation Round-up Program. The primary purpose of our grant this year will be directed toward the purchase of a newer model van for our food ministry distribution, and for program expenses associated with our Recovery and Restoration housing program. Thank you Jackson EMC for partnering with The Quinn House, this grant will help us to continue our no cost services to the community.
Summer Food Crisis
The Quinn House Food Pantry has experienced an overwhelming need for more food to feed more families with children during this summer season. A recent article from AOL News states that 16 million children in our country are now facing a summer of hunger. Children are not in school “feeding programs” and summer food programs from USDA feed fewer than one in five of total children qualified. Federal studies show that child hunger peaks during the summer. Demand for food stamps is up; demand at the food banks is very high; and donations to these food banks are down. Please help us make a difference for these children by donating the much needed items listed here. Thank You!
The Quinn House Difference
I recently had a discussion with one of our past guests. We talked about how his life had turned around since he left the Quinn House and the role we had played in his new found success. I was quite taken by the excitement in his voice, as he explained the difference in his new attitude. He stated that he had received more than just a second chance.

Our Recovery Program
Instead of a more traditional program that treats addiction as a disease, we adhere to the belief that addiction is a choice-based disorder. In other words, if you continually make the same choices, they eventually become part of your automatic or habitual behavior. The key word here is choice.

Book Bags Needed
It seems like just yesterday that we were celebrating the new year, but now I look at the calendar and not only has school let out but it’s almost time for it to start back. We’re already receiving calls from concerned parents about getting book bags, school supplies and clothes for their children. We could use plenty of help in this project. We normally have groups that donate these, but have heard from only one family so far who brought a couple of much needed bags and supplies. Gwinnett County Schools start back on August 9th and Buford City Schools start back on August 5th. We are hoping to have the supplies ready for distribution by August 4th. Gift cards from Wal-Mart, Target, Walgreens, CVS, etc. would also be a huge help for purchasing items not received to distribute to the children who need your help. Thank you Gwinnett!
Blessed by Bridlegate Again
Brenda DeLauder, from the Bridlegate Subdivision in Snellville pulled up to The Quinn House yesterday, June 14, to bless us all with a wonderful load of donations for our food pantry. Items included were canned foods, laundry supplies, paper products and toiletries. We want to thank all the wonderful residents of Bridlegate for remembering and blessing us all year round. The families we assist in Gwinnett County surely thank them also! Bridlegate also helps out every year with our Christmas Sponsor Program for children. Thanks to all of you, from all of us!
