Each year Brentwood Baptist Church holds a food drive to benefit GraceWorks. Just think how excited we were as we unloaded Read More....

Boy Scout Zack Sexton saw a need at GraceWorks, and took the opportunity to address that need in his Eagle Scout project. With the volume of food donations that are sorted here at GraceWorks, the pantry needed a sorting table that was more flexible for different sized drives or donation items. After volunteering in the pantry to understand the process, Zack designed a table that is long enough to accommodate the sort boxes, and with overhead signage that can be changed out as needed. Thank yoRead More....
