With dozens of people preparing grocery orders, sorting items and answering questions, the efforts at The Place of Dawson at RIC-Rack last Thursday painted a genuine picture of the phrase “helping hands.” This past weekend, The Place of Dawson County celebrated one full year of working with the longstanding RIC-Rack thrift store, located at 829 Ga. 9 in Dawsonville. The Place was founded in Forsyth County in 1975, where it’s worked for over 40 years serving community needs. In 2021, The Place of Forsyth County merged with RIC-Rack Thrift Shop and Food Bank to form The Place of Dawson County.
