What
is Graceworks Ministries About?
Graceworks
began in 1995 to help local churches screen requests for assistance
and determine the validity of the need for food, monetary help, or clothing.
Graceworks is no longer just a clearinghouse of information. Today,
Graceworks is a ministry in its own right.
Graceworks is an ecumenical,
nonprofit ministry funded primarily by Williamson County churches, individuals,
businesses, civic group and the Graceworks Thrift Store. (Over 60% of
total funding comes from store sales.) Our primary focus is to provide
physical, emotional, spiritual, material, and referral services to those
in need while helping them break the cycle of dependency on government
assistance. Not everyone that needs our assistance is receiving governmental
help.
Others who benefit from this
ministry are people that find themselves in unexpected circumstances
such as the sudden death of a spouse, catastrophic illness, or a lingering
disability. Graceworks is a haven for those who have no where else to
turn.
In 1999, Graceworks consolidated
its operations into one building where we now provide emergency solutions
for Williamson County residents. Clients find a Christian based program
of love, support, and encouragement.
In the year 2003, Graceworks
assisted 2,553 families with various needs because of the generosity
of the people of Williamson County.
Covenant
Churches
When
churches enter into a covenant with Graceworks they agree to support
the ministry in whatever way they are able including providing volunteers,
praying and financial contributions. The churches benefit from this
alliance too, since they can refer those who call on them for assistance
to Graceworks.
