Grace Place

Grace Place is a community that serves the needs of people who are food insecure. We have breakfast 4 days a week, provide a clothing closet, worship opportunities, and celebrations for special occasions.

We recognize the dignity of all persons by seeking authentic, grace-filled relationships, focusing on loving one another in the midst of difficult life challenges.

Come expecting to make new friends! You might serve drinks, work in the clothing closet, clean tables, or sit with someone who would like company. After serving, we reflect on the morning together.

What we offer at Grace Place

BREAKFAST

Free and open to the community every weekday morning from 7-9am, except Tuesdays.

WORSHIP OPPORTUNITIES

Every morning at 7:30, before breakfast, there is a worship opportunity. We are all on equal footing before the Lord, and everyone is invited to share and participate in these times. It is not required to receive breakfast.

CLOTHING CLOSET

Open on Thursdays for people to receive clothing and other items such as hygiene kits, blankets, and shoes.

ART CLASSES

Thursdays after breakfast, Art for All leads an art class. Artists have the option to sell their art in our fundraiser in the spring. Artists get a cut of the sale and the rest goes to support the class and benefit the ministry.

BIKES

People can earn donated bikes through community service at Grace Place and by taking a basic bike safety and maintenance class. This is offered depending on the availability of bikes and lay leaders to lead the program.

BIRTHDAY CELEBRATIONS

Every month, we recognize birthdays and celebrate with cake or goodie bags.

WOMEN’S DAY

Every quarter we pamper our ladies with some extra attention after breakfast. Program varies, but it always includes some extended shopping in the clothing closet!
