If you can teach about the Bible, financial management, home maintenance, health and wellness or another topic that would serve our families, we’d love to have you join us.

How you help	Volunteers help teen mamas thrive instead of just surviving.

About us	Grace’s Table was born out of my struggle and prayers as a teen mama. When I entered motherhood at age 17, I felt alone, isolated, and scared. There were times I had to make choices between keeping a roof over our heads or keeping food on the table. I looked around for community groups that could help me learn life skills, become a better parent, hold space with me as I navigated life as an adolescent with a child. And there weren’t any. Today, Grace’s Table is a hedge of protection around fragile families. Our giving partners are defenders, shielding them as they grow and linking arms with them as they navigate the road to a fulfilling life and future for their family. Together, we preserve families.
