We invite you to join the Grace Place Men’s or Women’s Alliance and stand alongside individuals who are making a meaningful difference. Members gather twice a year to build meaningful connections and gain insight into the challenges faced by women and children living in poverty in Sumner County, and discuss solutions to improve their future stability.
Whether you give once, give monthly, or give in-kind, you become part of a family’s story of transformation.
