When you give to Ministries of Grace, you’re not just supporting a program. You’re stepping into a story. A real one. A sacred one. A story where hardship is met with compassion, and survival gives way to hope.
Statistics show us the scale of our work. But it’s the stories that show the soul.
In 2024, because of generous donors—especially those giving monthly through The Bridge—we witnessed transformation that can’t be measured on a chart. It was written on faces, in doorways, and across kitchen tables all throughout Forsyth and Dawson counties.
Here are just a few of the lives you helped change.
Tayler’s Story: From Receiving Help to Giving It
Tayler came to Ministries of Grace as a single mom in crisis. Her pantry was empty, and her heart was heavy. What she found wasn’t just food—it was community. Over time, with consistent support, she stabilized her family, rebuilt her confidence, and began volunteering.
Today, Tayler serves other families with the same compassion she once received. Her story is living proof of what we pray for: not just relief, but restoration.
“Ministries of Grace helped me get back on my feet. Now I help others do the same.”
Graceworks: Planting Seeds of Long-Term Success
This year marked the launch of the Graceworks Training Center—a place designed not just to feed families, but to fuel their future.
And the results? Incredible.
- One mom, a full-time student, found a job that perfectly aligned with her class and parenting schedule
- A neighbor working through our pantry is now finishing her GED
- Others are considering CMA certification, welding programs, or ESL classes through our partnership with Lanier Tech
- Families are learning basic financial literacy, computer skills, and career prep—all in a place that feels safe, empowering, and full of dignity
These milestones aren’t flashy headlines. But to each family, they’re everything.
What the Numbers Don’t Tell You
In 2024, Ministries of Grace:
- Served 63,094 individuals with essential resources
- Completed 601 home visits
- Built 215 care plans
- Helped 38 families graduate into greater self-sufficiency
But behind every number is a name.
Behind each care plan is a mother who finally felt heard. Behind every meal delivery is a child who didn’t have to go to bed hungry. Behind every home visit is a relationship formed—and healing begun.
You can’t put that in a spreadsheet. But it’s happening every single day.
Real People Giving to Real People
When you give monthly through The Bridge, you’re not just covering a budget line. You’re joining a movement of steady, faithful believers in transformation.
Your gift might help cover:
- A week of groceries for a family recovering from a medical emergency
- A hygiene kit and winter coat for a grandparent raising three grandchildren
- A one-on-one job coaching session for a mom re-entering the workforce
This is what monthly giving makes possible—not just relief, but momentum.
“The Bridge isn’t just a donor program. It’s a community of people who believe in change—one story at a time.”
Help Write the Next Chapter
