OUR MISSION
Compassion, Resources & Community
Our mission is to support individuals facing homelessness, marginalization, or hardship by offering compassion, resources, and community assistance.
Founded by Ginny Trepanier, The Grace Café is a volunteer-run nonprofit soup kitchen offering free breakfast and lunch to those in need — with no questions asked.
“Be warm. Be fed.”
