The Social Outreach Ministry Team is responsible for coordinating much of the outreach work that Grace does. They manage the volunteer groups that house at Grace and work in the city, but they also schedule opportunities for Grace members to be involved. Previous efforts have included work at Habitat for Humanity, Ozanam Inn (a New Orleans homeless shelter), Lakeview Shepherd’s Center, and working to provide Christmas gifts for disadvantaged children. If you are interested in being a part of this board or have a suggestion for a project, please contact the chairperson, This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

Grace has partnered with a new program offered to foster children to provide mentorship and short-term help to children ages 13-19. We are looking for people who are interested in becoming long-term mentors to a specific child, as well as people who would be willing to help on shorter term needs such as college applications, job interviews, resume writings, tax returns, etc. If you have interest in this, please contact This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

We are also working with First Baptist of New Orleans to work on the "Fuel the Future Feed a Child" program.  Grace is collecting food to contribute to the program, and volunteers are helping to pack the bags on Wednesday nights.  First Baptist is in need of specific food items to contribute to these bags that go home with New Orleans children for the weekend, to ensure good nutrition is followed even when school lunches aren't available.  For more information, contact This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
