The GRACE Mission
As a steward of God's blessings and resources in our community, GRACE demonstrates compassion for those less fortunate by providing assistance to individuals and families in crisis and guidance toward self-sufficiency.
We have volunteer opportunities in almost every area of our agency. Whatever your passion, we have a place where you can have fun and help the community too.
While GRACE has seen a more than 40 percent increase in requests for assistance, we've also seen an almost equal decrease of individual contributions. If you can, please help.
GRACE provides assistance to those who are suffering from chronic low income or those who've experienced a recent emergency. If you need help, you've already taken the first step.
The proceeds generated by GRACE Resale help cover the operating costs of our agency. This allows a larger percentage of the donations we receive to go directly to clients.
Thank You for a Great Gala!
The lights have been turned down, the decorations have been boxed and the tables and chairs put back in storage, yet the warm wonderful feelings of a great GRACE Gala 2011 remain!
We have received many positive comments regarding the video shown during the Gala. It was produced by Chris Schrobilgen of OurGreatCity.com and photograped by Brad Eggerton.
It tells four stories from the many stories we have here at GRACE. It shows the isolation many of our seniors feel; the frustrations of today's job seekers; the desperation that leads people to our Transitional Housing program; and the concern in our Clinic exam rooms.
Above all, though, it shows the hope, relief and gratitude GRACE brings to all of these situations, and thousands more.
Clinic Needs Translators
The GRACE Outreach to Health Community Clinic is in serious need of translators to work with clients on clinic nights. Each Tuesday night the clinic needs anywhere from two to five translators to provide each client with the assistance they need. Other opportunities come up with additional clinic events.
If you can spare a few hours on an occassional Tuesday evening and you speak fluent english and spanish, then we'd like to talk to you! Please contact GRACE Volunteer Manager, Jan Smith at 817-305-4653 or jsmith@gracegrapevine.org for more information about how you can help.
