GRACED ON THE GO – (Ongoing During Hurricane Season)

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.

BACK TO SCHOOL WITH A TWIST - 2025 RECAP

This August, Graced to Serve™ launched our very first Back to School with a Twist campaign—and it was a success!

Instead of simply handing out pencils and paper, we came alongside a local family with twin first graders to provide:

🎒 Backpacks filled with age-appropriate supplies
👕 Fresh school uniforms & new shoes
🧼 Hygiene products & healthy snacks
💙 Ongoing support for school-year needs

Thanks to a $250 Thrivent Action Team funds, generous donors, and community support, these students started the 2025–2026 school year prepared, confident, and excited to learn. But our work doesn’t stop there. The “twist” in Back to School with a Twist is that we continue walking with families throughout the school year—helping with seasonal clothing, classroom materials, extracurricular fees, and emergency school-related needs as they arise.

What’s Next

We believe every student deserves to begin and end their school year with dignity, not just survive the first day. That’s why this initiative is ongoing—and with your help, we can reach more families who often fall through the cracks.

Here’s how you can join us:

💛 Nominate a student who may need supplemental support
🙌 Volunteer to help us assemble or distribute care items
💸 Donate or shop our wish list to help us reach more families

This first campaign was just the beginning. With your partnership, we can continue to restore dignity and bring hope to more students, one family at a time.
