Graced to Serve™

Graced to Serve™ is a unique organization driven by a deep sense of compassion and commitment to our community. We are dedicated to making a meaningful difference in the lives of disadvantaged and homeless individuals in Alabama, Florida, and Georgia.

Our mission is crystal clear: Graced to Serve™ is on a mission to bridge the gap for those in need by ensuring access to essential life necessities. We firmly believe that by providing support and fostering a sense of community, we can help uplift every person we serve towards a brighter, more hopeful future.

Graced to Serve™ will take compassion to the streets through Graced on the Go, a mobile outreach initiative delivering food, hygiene kits and disaster-readiness supplies directly to individuals experiencing homelessness.

With hurricane season in full swing, our goal is to meet urgent needs with both dignity and practicality. Each kit will include hygiene essentials (toothbrushes, soap, deodorant, wipes), weatherproofing items (ponchos, emergency blankets, waterproof bags), non perishable food items, and printed resource guides.

Our team of volunteers will go to the people—serving those who may never make it to a shelter or resource fair. This is more than a giveaway. It’s a reminder that they haven’t been forgotten. Because love goes where the need is.

Unhoused individuals are among the most at-risk during hurricane season, often overlooked in disaster response efforts. Graced on the Go ensures they are not forgotten—and reminds them they are seen, valued, and supported.

About the Program
Every child deserves not only resources, but also a guiding hand to help them reach their full potential. The Graced to Grow Youth Mentorship Program provides academic mentoring and life-skills development for school-age children through caring, consistent, and community-centered support.

Our Focus
Academic Mentorship: Tutoring and homework help in literacy, math, and study skills.
Positive Guidance: Encouragement, accountability, and role modeling to build confidence.
Life Skills & Leadership: Goal setting, teamwork activities, and opportunities to lead.
Community Connection: Linking families to resources and support systems.

Graced to Serve™ was founded by Fharnell T. Marshall, a passionate advocate for the homeless, disadvantaged, and underserved youth. Fharnell's deep desire to serve those often overlooked is rooted in her parents’ legacy and shaped by her own lived experiences growing up in diverse communities.

Fueled by compassion, purpose, and a clear vision to bridge the gap for those in need, Fharnell launched Graced to Serve™ in March 2024. Her heart beats for creating access, restoring dignity, and helping others feel seen—especially among vulnerable youth and individuals facing housing and economic insecurity. She is excited to connect with like-minded individuals who have a heart to give back in Alabama, Florida, and Georgia.
