Garing said so far he’s been blown away by his community’s response, but the need continues.

Lawrenceville also put together a community response team, which pairs volunteers with at-risk residents who need essentials like food and prescriptions during the pandemic.

The executive director of Lawrenceville United, a nonprofit, said they’ve already paired 60 volunteers with residents.
