A new door is opening in Norcross, and for many Gwinnett families, it could make everyday life feel a little more manageable. The Single Parent Alliance & Resource Center, better known as SPARC, is officially opening its new facility with a ribbon cutting hosted by the Gwinnett Chamber of Commerce on January 9, 2026 at 3:00 PM. On paper, this is a milestone event. In practice, it’s a big deal for single parents across the county who rely on steady support to keep life moving forward.
SPARC is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit focused on supporting single parents through resources that meet them where they are, including support groups, after-school services, and financial stability programs. These aren’t abstract services or buzzwords, but the kinds of programs that help parents juggle work schedules, childcare needs, and long-term planning without feeling like they’re doing it all alone.
One Location, Bigger Impact
The new Norcross facility brings SPARC’s services together under one roof, allowing the organization to expand its reach and serve families more efficiently. For a county as large and diverse as Gwinnett, having a centralized hub matters. It reduces barriers, creates consistency, and makes it easier for families to access help without hopping between locations.
The ribbon cutting itself will bring together local business leaders, civic partners, and community advocates, all recognizing the role nonprofits play in the broader economic and social health of Gwinnett. Strong communities are not built on commerce alone. They rely on support systems that keep families stable, kids engaged, and parents equipped to succeed.
What SPARC offers is practical and personal:
- After-school programs that give working parents peace of mind
- Support groups that build connection and reduce isolation
- Financial stability programs that focus on long-term confidence, not quick fixes
This new facility isn’t about expansion for expansion’s sake; it’s about capacity. More room to serve. More opportunities to connect. More visibility for an organization doing work that matters.
For Gwinnett residents, the opening signals something encouraging, showing continued investment in the people who hold families together while balancing full plates and limited margins. For local businesses and leaders, it’s a reminder that community well-being and economic strength are closely linked.
When SPARC cuts the ribbon in January, they’re not just opening a building; they’re reinforcing the idea that Gwinnett grows stronger when support systems grow alongside it.
