New Volunteers
Thank you for exploring ways you can share your time and talents with GRACE, our clients, and communities.
What began in 1987 as a small collaboration between a few churches and civic leaders has now grown into a well-established and independent relief agency that's able to provide our community with a safety net of assistance through a wide range of staff-supported programs. These programs include a self-select food pantry, emergency financial assistance for rent/utilities, a community medical clinic, a clothing room, seasonal programming, senior services, and mentorship housing.
Our Mission
As a steward of God’s blessings and resources in the community, GRACE demonstrates compassion for those less fortunate by providing assistance to individuals and families in crisis and guidance toward self-sufficiency.
