Like good stewards of the manifold grace of God, serve one
another with whatever gift each of you has received.1 Peter 4:10
Outreach
GoochlandCares Food Pantry
The mission of GoochlandCares is to provide health care and basic human services to Goochland residents in need.
One way they fulfill this mission is with their Food Pantry. Individuals that qualify can get healthful foods and personal items for their families at the pantry.
Grace Church collects and contributes non-perishable food to the GoochlandCares Food Pantry the 4th Sunday of every month. In addition, Grace has 4 to 6 church members who stock the food pantry every 4th and 5th Tuesday of each month.
Fresh produce from the church's vegetable garden is donated to the Food Pantry.

YMCA - Bright Beginnings Back Pack PROGRAM
For many years, members of Grace Church have supported the YMCA Bright Beginnings Back Pack program by volunteering and donating supplies so children in Goochland can start the school year confidently.
The backpacks are blessed before they are sent to the YMCA. The Grace community knows that if a child starts the school year with all the supplies they need, it can help put a child on a path to success.
Grace was proud to provide filled backpacks this August for the 2021/2022 school year.
