Grace Works Ministries Ribbon Cutting
About Graceworks
Volunteers are the heart of GraceWorks, and they will soon have their own space in the heart of GraceWorks’ community resource center building.
There they will find a sign-in desk with a new computer system for registration, tables and chairs for breaks, a coffee station and a refrigerator full of drinks, as well as lockers for their personal belongings. Additionally, the volunteer center will have a TV for training videos that help groups more quickly train before going to their volunteer post.
GraceWorks runs on volunteers. GraceWorks has 53 staff members and over 270 regular weekly volunteers plus many volunteer groups each week.
While GraceWorks is still searching for a permanent home, leaders believed it was critical to provide more space and increased training for the essential volunteer force that keeps GraceWorks operational, Saurers said. Thankfully, much of the labor and materials for this renovated space were donated by Lewis Roofing & Construction.
Volunteers save GraceWorks $1 million annually through their service, she said. They work in the GraceWorks Thrift Store by receiving and sorting donations, adding price tags and stocking the store floor. They sort food donations and fill shopping carts for hungry families. A group called GraceWorkers talk compassionately with neighbors seeking help and, working with staff, determine how best GraceWorks can meet their needs.
