For nearly four decades, Grapevine Relief and Community Exchange, known simply as GRACE—has been a steady hand to hold for families in Northeast Tarrant County. What began as a few churches and civic leaders coming together in 1987 has grown into a trusted community lifeline, offering guidance, care, and hope when life feels most uncertain.
The heart of GRACE beats through its people. Every individual who walks through the door is welcomed not simply as a client, but as a neighbor, a friend, and a valued member of the community. Care Managers take time to listen, to honor each story, and to carefully build a plan forward with compassion, dignity, and unwavering kindness. For families living paycheck to paycheck, even a single setback such as a sudden illness, a lost job, or a broken-down car can quickly spiral into crisis. GRACE steps into that gap, offering not only practical relief but also the steady reassurance that someone truly cares about their tomorrow and believes deeply in their ability to rise again.
Through programs like the Food Pantry, Community Garden, Community Clinic, Mentorship Housing, children’s initiatives, and senior services, GRACE wraps care around every stage of life. Last year alone, thousands of neighbors found meals, medical care, clothing, and stability through its doors—each one a story of resilience, strengthened by a community that refuses to let them fall.
For those seeking help, the path is simple: visit GRACEGrapevine.org or call 817.488.7009, Monday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. From that first call, GRACE begins the work of walking alongside families with patience, encouragement, and unwavering hope until they can stand strong again.
And for those looking to give back, the invitation is always open. GRACE’s mission is sustained by the generosity of volunteers, donors, and partners who share their time, resources, and open hearts. Every contribution, whether it’s stocking pantry shelves, sorting at a donation station, or writing a check—becomes part of a larger story of compassion in action, lives changed, and futures lovingly rebuilt.
In the end, GRACE is more than programs. It is the living proof of what happens when neighbors refuse to turn away: hope is restored, dignity is honored, and lives are renewed.
