Bags of Grace

Bags of Grace is a ministry of Grace to the Nations, which Isaac’s Keep partners and supports.

Purpose: To provide needed commodities to qualifying families in need in order to develop relationships between the community of believers and families in need with the hopes of beginning a course of action that brings positive long-term change.

Issue: There are literally hundreds if not thousands of families here in our community that lacks the ability to provide food for their children. This ministry is Grace to the Nations’ commodity based ministry to give a cup of cold water in Jesus’ name with the hopes of developing relationships to teach clients to fish for themselves.

How do clients qualify? Grace to the Nations accept no government or grant funds; therefore are able to provide assistances to those in need based on those needs alone. Families that fill out and have on record a Family Assistance Form are eligible for assistance. Families can receive Bags of Grace four times a year. To receive more assistance individuals can enroll in the Life2Life Mentoring or other ministry services (Church, English Class, Life Skills Training, etc.).

What does Grace to the Nations stock and what needs to be donated? – Flour – Maseca – Sugar – Rice – Dried Beans – Corn Tortillas – Pasta – Tomato Sauce – Baby Food – Cereal – Snack foods – Drink mixes – Canned vegetables – Canned fruits – Canned soup – Loaf bread – Milk – Toothpaste – Toothbrush – Soap – Shampoo – Deodorant – Toilet Paper – Diapers – Trash Bags – Paper Towels

Who do families in need receive? Qualifying families choose items from the Bag of Grace Request Form. The items requested will be filled by Grace to the Nations according to availability. When can I receive? Bags of Grace distributions are scheduled regularly, check the calendar for next distribution or contact Grace to the Nations.
