Great News in Our 2025 Annual Report…

It will come as no surprise that the need in our community is growing. By every measure, Gracing Spaces has grown remarkably this past year. From January through December, our volunteers served 1,957 people, 915 adults and 1,042 children, filling 676 distinct orders, giving out 21,478 inventoried items.

But numbers aren’t the most important part of the story. More important is how the work of Gracing Spaces has shaped us as individuals and as a community.  Because of our teamwork, from warehouse department workers to schedulers and haulers and those working diligently behind the scenes, our warehouses stay safe, organized, and ready to support our neighbors.

The generosity of our growing community of financial supporters enabled us to lease a second warehouse and purchase urgently needed furniture items when clients’ needs typically surge during the fall.  Our wider community is so generous with their furniture and home goods that we’re able to provide our neighbors with what they need to launch the next phase of their lives well.  Our volunteers are so generous with their time and talent that we’ve been able to add a second day of pickups. And our growing church and community partnerships have enabled us to broaden our support to the community in new ways. 

As we live out our faith together in these uncertain times, we grow as a community, we grow in loving service to our neighbors and to one another, and we grow as children of God. May the next year bring us closer to one another, closer to those in need, and closer to Christ.
