GRACE

Members of our church work in the GRACE food pantry and make sure clothing and food needs are met when people in our area need help. Call GRACE at 817-488-7009 for additional opportunities to volunteer.

Others have served faithfully on the GRACE Board or walked in the annual Church World Services CROP Walk to fight hunger globally and locally. We continue to need your help with the many mission opportunities facing us!

GRACE Emergency Financial, Food, Clothing, Counseling and Household Items for families and individuals in crisis.

GRACE transitional housing is designed to provide homeless individuals and families with safe housing and supportive services that enhance self-sufficiency. Carefully chosen residents have a place to live while they work, pay off debt, learn new skills and regain confidence. They work directly with a professional Case Manager and trained Case Aides. Most residents have completed a program at one of the area shelters pior to acceptance in Transitional Housing.

The GRACE transitional housing two-year program requires residents to have a job or go to school. They must meet weekly with the Case Manager to work on their budget and review goals for that week. Case Aides are urged to attend these meetings and are asked to provide comfort, air and support.

Each resident is sponsored by an area church. The church must provide volunteer Case Aides and pay $100 per month for upkeep and utilities. “God’s Decorating Squad” is a volunteer team of women who solicit donations from individuals and businesses which are used to decorate and furnish the apartments, creating welcoming homes. The volunteers believe that if you are proud of your home, you will take better care of it so they give each resident a home to be proud of. In many cases this is the first real home the residents have ever called their own.

CROP Walk/ Church World Services : FPC is one of the leading churches for the annual Cropwalk, which is sponsored by GRACE and held in October. Our Cropwalk is one of hundreds held across the nation. Each year several million dollars are raised to aid those primarily in third world countries to help feed these people such as farmers in Bosnia.  Money is also used for projects, such as de-mining of areas in Cambodia.
