Our Story
We are in DESPERATE need of a new, enclosed GGP Trailer. We have borrowed a trailer for the last 3.5 years and served over 8000 homeless children with it during that time. Imagine what we will be able to do with our own...
Our Goal is to raise at least $10,000. (All additional funds will go directly to providing school supplies, hygiene supplies, shoes and other necessities to our kids.)
We are so grateful to have a $5000 match by our good friends at Commercial Marine Pro! So, for every dollar you donate, they will DOUBLE IT!!! WOW!
Gifting Grace Project is Acadiana's homeless children's outreach.
Our mission is to FREELY LOVE, SERVE and SUPPORT homeless children in our community by providing them with essential resources, support services and community advocacy to remove unnecessary barriers they face and inspire them to pursue their purpose.
Our vision is to bring hope to ALL homeless children.
Did you know that there are over 2000 children identified as homeless in the Acadiana Region? Did you know that Lafayette Parish identified over 1200 children in 2023 living in cars, parks, motels, couch-to-couch, doubled-up, etc.? Did you know that Lafayette Parish usually ranks in the top 2 - 3 parishes in Louisiana every year for childhood homelessness? Did you know that the average age of these children is 8 years old? As much as these are very shocking and sobering statistics, each number represents an actual child.
At Gifting Grace Project, we want to see each of them succeed in the way that all of their more fortunate classmates are.
