People Helping People
Make a Difference
GRACE is a vital source for our community to get the nutritious food and household supplies they need. But we are more than that - we help our people tend to larger goals such as getting vaccinated against COVID and the flu, obtaining a driver's license, understanding affordable health insurance options, finding work, and obtaining assistance for utility bills.
After the generous in-kind donations we are lucky to receive, we still must spend over $8,000 on average each week to support over 600 families, which includes 150 senior citizens and 700 children.
GRACE is fully funded by grants, community partners, in-kind services and generous community donations. We need your help to make sure everyone in our community can live in good health and security.
Please consider the many ways you can support GRACE to sustain demand and support greater stability that ensures everyone is #happyhealthysecure.
GRACE is a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization. All donations are tax-deductible as allowed by law.

Engage -
Many of our donors volunteer with GRACE to engage in a deeper understanding of our community and mission. Getting involved makes a difference. GRACE operates with the support of over 1,000 volunteer hours each month. Consider bringing your team along to volunteer. There are always opportunities for corporate partnerships and groups to serve and learn together.
Consider sustaining impact with your financial planning -
Legacy gifts, endowments and investments make a sustaining impact and ensure that GRACE may continue to be a reliable and stable source of support for our neighbors most in need. Talk to your financial advisor about opportunities to set up your donor advised fund and direct your support to GRACE. Consider listing your favorite charity in your trust or will, and consider ways your retirement plan can help you realize philanthropic outreach while gaining tax benefits. Give a recurring gift through your stocks and securities, while investing in GRACE’s financial security.
