About Ministries of Grace
Building relationships through our community and volunteers leads to families in need being taken care of.

We understand hunger because we've been there.
When Stephen and Suellen Daniels lost everything in 2010, they didn’t know their pain would turn into their life’s greatest mission: to help hungry families move out of food insecurity and into a stable future.
Since 2011, the Daniels with an army of donors and volunteers have fed thousands of families in North Georgia. The Ministries of Grace mission has grown beyond providing food and now helps families gain financial literacy, job training, social services, and more.
The end goals are the same, though: to bring food, hope, and transformation.
