Every dollar tells a story. It might look small in your bank account, but when it reaches Ministries of Grace, it becomes food, care, and opportunity for families across North Georgia. That is the power of generosity in action. See how your End-of-Year Giving gift creates real and lasting change.

Why Transparency Matters

When you give, you deserve to know where your money goes. At Ministries of Grace, every gift is used intentionally to meet practical needs and build long-term stability for families.

Your End-of-Year Giving gift supports three programs that work together to help families move from crisis to confidence. Meals by Grace provides food for children and caregivers. Grace Cares surrounds families in crisis with compassion and dignity. Graceworks Training Center equips individuals with the skills they need to find employment and rebuild their future.

Each program meets families at a different stage of their journey, but the goal remains the same: lasting transformation.

Meals by Grace: Feeding Families and Fighting Hunger

Food insecurity affects far too many children in Forsyth and Dawson Counties. Rising costs make it difficult for families to keep enough food on the table, especially during the winter months. Meals by Grace exists to fill that gap.

Here is what your giving provides through Meals by Grace:

• $25 provides fresh produce for a child who might otherwise go without fruits and vegetables.
• $300 supplies groceries and fresh ingredients for an entire week for a home like Bentley’s.

Each box of food delivered by our volunteers represents hope in motion. It tells a family that someone cares, that they are not forgotten, and that their community stands with them.

Grace Cares: Meeting Crisis With Compassion

Crisis does not wait for the right time. It comes when bills pile up, when jobs are lost, or when a medical emergency leaves a family with impossible choices. Grace Cares steps in during those moments to provide relief and restore dignity.

Here is what your gift can do through Grace Cares:

• $25 provides hygiene essentials and cleaning supplies for a family in crisis.
• $75 keeps diapers and wipes stocked for struggling parents.
• $300 provides coats, heaters, and blankets to keep families warm during the coldest months.

Families like Janice’s know firsthand the impact of that care. When she fled an unsafe home, Grace Cares provided immediate support and walked with her through the process of rebuilding. Today, she serves others who are walking similar roads. Your giving made her story possible.

Graceworks Training Center: Creating Pathways to Stability

When you support Graceworks, you invest in education that changes the trajectory of lives. Students receive hands-on training, financial literacy coaching, and mentoring that builds confidence and opens new doors.

Michael’s story shows what this transformation looks like. After losing his job, he came to Graceworks unsure of what was next. Today, he is employed, financially stable, and mentoring others because someone gave.

Your support for Graceworks provides real opportunity for individuals who want to break free from cycles of hardship and create lasting stability for their families.

A Gift That Multiplies

Your End-of-Year Giving gift reaches farther than you might imagine. It fills shelves, fuels delivery vans, funds classrooms, and restores hope. But it also does something that cannot be measured in dollars. It rebuilds confidence. It reminds families that they are seen and loved. It creates momentum that lasts long after the holiday season ends.

When one family finds stability, that stability ripples outward to neighbors, schools, workplaces, and entire communities. That is the multiplying power of generosity.

How You Can Be Part of the Impact

Every gift, no matter the size, has purpose.

Here is how you can make an immediate difference:

• Give a one-time donation to meet urgent needs before the year ends.
• Join The Bridge to sustain that impact every month of the year.
• Ask your employer if they offer matching gift opportunities to double your contribution.
• Share this article to inspire others to give generously this season.

Real Impact, Real Hope

At Ministries of Grace, we believe that generosity is not measured by the amount, but by the love behind it. Every dollar matters because every person matters.

Your giving provides meals for hungry children, care for families in crisis, and skills that create new beginnings. It turns financial gifts into something far more valuable: hope that endures.
