This week, GRACE held its annual Thanksgiving Food Distribution! Clients were given dinner packages containing all of the holiday staples and were met with the compassion of our wonderful volunteers.
This year, GRACE distributed 598 boxes over the course of three days! In the past, our Holiday Food Distribution has served a total of 800 families every year, which is expected to increase this year. We couldn’t begin to accomplish these numbers without the help of our volunteers!
We would like to give a special thanks to this year’s volunteer groups: John Slocum & Friends, Good Shepherd Men’s Club, Baylor Scott & White, First Baptist Church Grapevine, Gateway, Faculty from Grapevine Middle School, Great Wolf Lodge, 121 Community Church, Grapevine Masonic Lodge, and St. Lawrence Church. Thank you for all of your hard work and smiling faces throughout the week!
Now, GRACE is gearing up for its December Food Distribution— and we need your help!
