Our community is unmatched! Admittedly we are biased, but we wanted to take a moment to highlight how incredibly blessed we at GRACE are to be surrounded by a community that supports our mission in the most creative ways through program-specific drives and fun events.
Each drive and every event raises awareness for GRACE programs and oftentimes gathers support or items that in turn are given directly to families who are in need. Creating an event or hosting a drive are unique ways that local businesses, churches, civic organizations, and community groups can engage their employees/members in team building while supporting our mission by gathering food and clothing, or encouraging financial contributions. For example:
Earlier this month, the ladies of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. held a supply drive, collecting essentials like diapers, laundry detergent, and cooking oil for the GRACE Food Pantry after checking our most urgent needs list. The Emler Swim School of Southlake just recently wrapped a canned food drive for the Pantry, and Jersey Mike’s in Grapevine recently hosted a fundraiser whose proceeds went directly to support GRACE programs.
Coming up in March, Southlake Style is bringing back its Beauty & Bellini’s Shopping Bazaar where attendees will enjoy pop-up shops, live demos, and complimentary beauty treatments—all while supporting GRACE’s Feed Our Kids Program.
Events and drives are a fun and creative way to make a difference in the lives of those in our community who need the most support. Have a fun idea? Whether you’re part of a business, church, civic organization, or community group, we’d love to partner with you!
