Support our team for the Alzheimer's Association Walk to End Alzheimer's®, the world’s largest event to raise awareness and funds for Alzheimer’s care, support and research.

Many of our members have lost loved ones to Alzheimers in the last 10 years.. Although we have lost, we can channel the memories of our family member to Alzheimer’s research. The Members of Gwinnett County Retired Educators Association believe in the Walk. We believe in contributing to this Humanitarian effort.

Gwinnett Children's Shelter
Gwinnett Children’s Shelter is a nonprofit, 50-C3 Corporation and a residential care facility which provides services for homeless children from 0 – 17 years of age along with their mothers. The shelter provides care and services for homeless girls aging out of the foster care system at 18 years of age. They also provide customized “Life Plans” that are designed around the physical, emotional, and educational needs of the residents, while helping the young moms get a plan of action to get back on their feet. GCREA contributes money and donates items from the Shelter’s wish list once a year in December.
