About Grace Ministries

Grace Place will be walking on February 28, 2026 to raise funds to support the many programs that it offers. Each week we serve over 1000 community meals and each night (from Oct. 1 - April 30) up to 25 clients, that cannot access any of the other area shelters, are able stay at Grace Place through the Out of the Cold Program. That is the reason we walk!
