The mission of GRACE is to identify and create resources from GRACE, churches, and the community to provide compassionate and transformative assistance to those who express a need in Greene County.

What it reported doing in 2024

Our financial assistance program provided $17,862 to help 57 families with emergency utility bills--often averting electricity cutoffs.

The verdict
