We have lots of folks to thank for a successful Mail Carriers "Stamp Out Hunger" Food Drive on Saturday, May 14, starting with the hundreds of mail carriers who picked up food bags left at mailboxes on their routes. That is hard work and we appreciate the extra effort to collect all that food.
Thank you to all the folks in our area who gave so generously - on Saturday, we collected 27,902 pounds of food from the Franklin post office, and more will be coming from Nolensville today.

Graceworks hosted over 350 guests at the annual Benefit Bonanza held April 7, 2011 at Liberty Hall in The Factory at Franklin. What a wonderful opportunity to share the Graceworks story through music and testimonials, accompanied by friends and a good meal. The Silent Auction featured another opportunity to support Graceworks. Lee Greenwood capped the night with a performance featuring his famous hit "God Bless the USA." Thank you to all who attended the Bonanza, as well as those who helped in

Graceworks regularly receives donations of new underwear, socks and other items from local stores. If a package is opened in the store, it is no longer eligible for sale, so the items are sent to G

Expert color selection, a professional painting team, a few hours and a gallon or two of paint, can make all the difference. How much nicer it is for our clients, customers and volunteers when entering the Graceworks Ministries front vestibule.
Graceworks wants to welcome our newest business partner, Faux Decor, and say a huge THANK YOU for painting our vestibule area as a donation. Faux Decor has also pledged further painting projects at Graceworks in the upcoming weeks.
