At Meals By Grace we have a few core truths that guide everything we do:

  1. Families have needs
  2. Children are vulnerable
  3. Communities have resources
  4. Engagement leads to relationship
  5. Relationships cultivate an environment of trust

When we follow these core truths, we find that needs are met, hearts are opened, and progress is made. Building relationships through our community and volunteers leads to families in need being taken care of. And together, all our efforts work to help move our community forward. 

Every human being is unique and created by God. We all have specific skills, talents, and gifts. Just like the first part of Romans 12:6 declares for each of us, “having gifts that differ according to the grace given to us, let us use them.” 

Amen! We’re By Community, For Community. There’s nothing more powerful than that.
