Grace Place puts faith into action - providing pathways out of poverty by educating children and families. Grace Place found its roots in Golden Gate city eleven years ago as an after-school homework club organized by Stephanie Munz Campbell in response to the overwhelming need in the community. Within a year Grace Place had developed into a nonprofit neighborhood center for early childhood education, student programs and adult language courses. Grace Place now serves as an educational touchstone for the Golden Gate community.Working across the spectrum to break the cycle of poverty, Grace Place currently enrolls over 800 students in its three educational programs: Bright Beginnings, Student Programs and Adult Education. Although education is the core focus of the organization and its mission, Grace Place's Friday Food Pantry serves 200 families a week with a bag of basic groceries and additional bakery items, frozen meat, dairy products and fresh produce. Grace Place also works extensively with community partners to provide medical and mental health screenings, referrals for other services and financial literacy classes to the Golden Gate community.Grace Place for Children and Families is incorporated as a nonprofit, 501(c)(3).
