Faith-Based People Doing Needs-Based Ministry
Who We Are
Greene Alliance of Church/Community Efforts, Inc. (GRACE) is an alliance of faith-based people doing needs-based ministry.
The purpose of GRACE is to empower Greene County residents to move toward independence and a more self-reliant life-style by offering a hand-up, and not just a hand-out. GRACE has 501(c)(3) status so your generous contributions are tax-deductible.
GRACE depends on a network of volunteers and donations from churches, civic groups, businesses and individuals to help meet these needs.
