The excitement for the upcoming Gala was seen at the recent gifting party held on August 28th at Crush It! Sports Virtual Lounge, here in Grapevine. The Gifting Party not only displayed the generosity of our community but also set the tone for the next few months leading up to the Gala. It was a wonderful opportunity for supporters to connect and share a few of their stories of GRACE, while donating to the auction for the extremely needed fundraising efforts for GRACE programs. GRACE is incredibly grateful for the support and look forward to an even more successful event. Thanks again to Crush It! for hosting such a fun evening!

Over the next few months, the Auction committee will continue collecting all the amazing auction items! Additionally, at this year’s Gala, there will have a whiskey pull and a wine pull. To help collect the whiskey for the Gala pull, the Texas Gun Experience has graciously donated their space and is holding an event on September 12th! All attendees must bring whiskey worth $100 for entry. It is a fantastic opportunity to contribute to the gala while having a blast at the gun range. Enjoy some target practice, mingle with fellow supporters, and make a meaningful impact through your participation.

Adopt a GRACE ‘TOLO’ Box!

You may remember learning about our Take One, Leave One— or “TOLO” — boxes last December. These big blue boxes, stationed at three GRACE locations, are one of the ways in which GRACE combats food insecurity in our community. The TOLO boxes offer individuals and families immediate access to food outside of GRACE Food Pantry operating hours.
