🌱 3-Year-Old Found Safe + Homeless Shelter's Need Increases

Hello, hello! Danielle Fallon-O'Leary here with your fresh copy of the Dacula Daily, filled with all the things you need to know about what's happening locally.

First, today's weather:

A shower and t-storm; humid. High: 82 Low: 69.

📢 I’m looking for business owners and marketers in Dacula who want to build awareness, connect with customers and increase sales.

I have a limited number of sponsorships available to introduce our Dacula Daily readers to local businesses they need to know about. If that’s you, then I invite you to learn more and secure your spot now.

Here are the top three stories in Dacula today:

1. The Gwinnett County Police Department reports that a missing 3-year-old has been found safe. The child was taken from her father's yard on Saturday by her mother. The department has reportedly not issued any charges yet due to the "very complex" nature of the relationships involved. (11 Alive)
2. Is the current housing market making you feel a little overwhelmed? Patch and Redfin.com have teamed up to create a helpful list of the latest Dacula properties that have hit the market. Click to view the full list that includes prices, photos, and property dimensions. (Dacula Patch)
3. One Gwinnett County emergency shelter reports that its need has increased by over 200 percent since opening in 2020. The Resting Spot is currently the county's only homeless shelter and it has served more than 28,000 people since its opening. The shelter reports that the COVID-19 pandemic, inflation, and the ongoing housing crisis are to blame for the increase in need. (WSBTV)
