Ready Meals

Hot & Ready meals

Delivering prepared and ready meals to Grace Place on program nights is an enormous need. Grace Place needs to get every Monday and Thursday evening covered for the families and leaders involved in evening programs.  We request enough food to feed 6-8 adults and 10-15 children. If you would like to provide a meal for the families at Grace Place, we have a meal train set up online for groups to sign up to bring meals on the dates we still need!

You can access the link below to sign up!

There are additional meal instructions provided on the meal train but you must call the Grace Place at (615) 881-3976 before you drop off the meals to get the physical address.

Sign Up For The Meal Train Today!

Grace Place serves single mothers and their children experiencing homelessness in Sumner County. Our families are hard at work during the day at their jobs and then they attend program classes and Bible studies in the evening on Mondays and Thursdays. Having a hot meal ready to go on these evenings for our families is an enormous blessing as they work hard toward restoring their lives and achieving independence! We are so grateful that you are interested in ministering to the families at Grace Place this way!!
