Highlights on the many charities we support:
Grace Mission Episcopal Church began over 24 years ago and serves the basic needs of homeless and otherwise vulnerable people. They hold worship service on Sunday, Evening Prayer on Tuesday, and Morning Prayer on Wednesday. They also offer a 12-step Recovery Service Program, as well as a Bible Study ministry. They also give referrals to counseling, recovery, and in-and-out patient rehab facilities. Grace Mission’s outreach within the neighborhood includes an after-school program 3 times per week for children grades 1-5. Grace has provided quarterly medical clinics, prescription medication and they help pay for overthe-counter medications as needed. They also offer free flu shots, and Hepatitis A shots in partnership with FSU Medical School and Leon County Health Department. They also provide referrals to counseling, recovery, and in-and-out-patient rehab facilities. They support other daily needs with supplied clothes, coats, warm blankets, non-prescription glasses, and hygiene products, along with a monthly free clothing giveaway. Furthermore, working with State agencies, Grace Mission helps secure birth certificates and State photo IDs to assist members of the community in securing employment. Grace Mission has over 20,000+ volunteer hours per year helping to serve 40,000+ meals, as well as provide showers and laundry services, all at no charge and reports a clean audit every year of operation.
