GraceWorks Ministries

Meet Elizabeth, one of our beloved volunteers.

For the past year, she’s been showing up to our food pantry with something extra... 7 to 8 handmade lap blankets, crafted with her own hands and given away with her whole heart.

Our neighbors don’t just leave with groceries. They leave with something soft, warm, and made just for them.

Elizabeth, thank you for the love you stitch into every single one. 🧶

We get to witness a lot of beautiful moments at GraceWorks.

But some stories stop us in our tracks and remind us exactly why we show up every single day.

A neighbor in our community took custody of her goddaughter, a little girl who was underweight, insecure and desperately in need of consistent, nourishing food.

She found her way to our Food Pantry. And over the next three months, something extraordinary happened.

That little girl gained two dress sizes.
She passed first grade.
And she started showing every sign of a child who finally had enough 💙

Her guardian told us it was because of GraceWorks that her goddaughter was able to eat well and gain the much needed weight she so desperately needed.

This is what food makes possible. Not just a full stomach, but a future.

A childhood.

A chance.

And this summer, thousands of children just like her are counting on this community to show up.

Share this post and help us spread the word. The more people know, the more we can do together 💙

Neighbor serving Neighbor, by the power of God’s grace.
