Volunteer Ministry Opportunities: How Volunteers Carried the Mission Further Than Ever Before

In 2024, Ministries of Grace recorded one of the most impactful years since its founding. Grace Cares played a key role in making that happen.

When families come to us, they’re often overwhelmed, isolated, and facing impossible choices. Rent or groceries. Gas or childcare. Survival now or stability later. That’s where Grace Cares steps in, with wraparound support that meets urgent needs and lays the groundwork for lasting change.

Grace Cares by the Numbers

In 2024 alone, Grace Cares provided:

  • Over 4,700 instances of wholistic support
  • Hundreds of gas cards, hygiene kits, and grocery deliveries
  • Utility payments and housing assistance for families at risk of losing everything

But the real story isn’t just in the numbers. It’s in the lives changed.

Why Wraparound Support Matters

Every family’s story is different. Some are facing a temporary hardship—an unexpected bill, a job layoff, or a sudden medical expense. Others carry the weight of years of personal setbacks, past trauma, or gaps in support. That’s why Grace Cares never takes a one-size-fits-all approach.

Instead, our Family Support Specialists spend time listening, understanding, and building trust. They begin by helping families identify urgent needs—things like food, housing, or reliable transportation. From there, we offer immediate relief through tangible resources, whether it’s delivering groceries, supplying hygiene items, or connecting them to local services. But we don’t stop there. We walk with families toward stability, creating a plan tailored to their situation. That might mean job readiness coaching, budgeting help, or simply showing up with consistency so families don’t feel alone. And as each step forward is taken, we celebrate every victory, big or small, right alongside them.

Whether it’s a gas card to get to work or a hotel stay during a housing crisis, Grace Cares is there in the moment and for the journey.

“Grace Cares didn’t just give us help. They gave us a plan, and they never made us feel ashamed for needing it.” — A mother of three in Forsyth County
