DISASTER RESPONSE TEAM
When: As Needed
Volunteers go through extensive training on how to assist in the event of a natural, or man-made disaster. Teams are called to serve on an as-needed basis. Teams travel to affected areas, and typically serve three to four days at a time.
FEED OUR KIDS
When: Three weeks in June/July
GRACE started the Feed Our Kids program in 2005 with the mission to provide lunches for local children during the summer weeks when they may otherwise not receive a midday meal. White’s Chapel parters with GRACE to fill three of these hungry weeks throughout June and July with sack lunches, milk, smiles, and a loving atmosphere.
Please consider being a part of this exciting program: we believe it will be as rewarding for you as it is for the children you will help.

HOME WITH A HEART
When: As Needed
In partnership with GRACE’s transitional housing program, opportunities are available for volunteers who love to shop, furnish and decorate.
Apartment/housing units are made ready for families, women, and children transitioning from homelessness to more permanent housing. Volunteers are needed to prepare the home unit with everything that is needed for a new beginning. Opportunities are on an as-needed basis throughout the year.
