🌐 Gwinnett Coalition Honored for Nonprofit Work

Nonprofits are a quiet growth engine. In Gwinnett County, they account for hundreds of millions in services delivered annually, from food security to mental health. This week, the Gwinnett Coalition — a network hub for dozens of community organizations — was recognized by the Board of Commissioners.

The proclamation, timed with National Nonprofit Day, underscores the Coalition’s work in three key areas:

• Mental and behavioral health: coordination of care and resources in a county of nearly 1 million residents, where access gaps remain a challenge.

• Equity and well-being: programs designed to reduce disparities across income, geography, and demographic groups.

• Convening power: connecting nonprofits that often compete for the same grants and donors into a coordinated front.

The Coalition functions as infrastructure. By aligning services and reducing duplication, it amplifies impact. The recognition signals Gwinnett’s push to position itself not just as the most populous county in Georgia, but as a scalable model for community collaboration.

📦 Souto Foods Expansion: $28 Million Investment, 70 New Jobs

Jobs follow capital. This week, Souto Foods — a distributor specializing in Latin American and Caribbean food products — announced the opening of an expanded facility in Gwinnett County. The move represents a $28 million investment and is expected to create 70 new jobs.

Souto Foods operates in a sector where distribution efficiency and cultural alignment drive growth. Gwinnett, positioned along I-85 with direct logistics links into Atlanta, gives the company scale in one of the fastest-growing multicultural regions in the U.S.

The expansion is more than headcount. It reflects a demographic shift: Gwinnett is majority-minority, and Latino and Caribbean communities are among the fastest-growing segments. By building infrastructure closer to demand, Souto reduces friction in its supply chain and expands product availability in mainstream and specialty retailers.

Partnership Gwinnett, the county’s economic development initiative, calls the deal evidence of Gwinnett’s ability to attract and retain businesses positioned for demographic alignment. The formula is simple: investment, jobs, tax base — all anchored by the county’s changing population story.
