Grace Place Ministries is a safe home for Mothers and Children that provides one-on-one advocacy and encouragement, transportation all family needs, partnership for all health and dental screenings, counseling, career training, parenting classes, children’s resilience and enrichment programs.

In 2025 CMC Volunteers helped with Fruit of the Spirit February – Volunteers cooked and delivered weekly Monday night dinners for the women and children to eat together before their educational life classes in the evening and fresh fruit for snacks throughout the week. Provided Grace Place program graduates with household items to set up into their new homes. Helped the staff with Christmas gift wrapping day and purchased Walmart gift cards for gifts. We hope to be more helpful by providing group volunteer projects and help with the children’s programing.

 Twenty–three adults and five children worked together at the Nashville location’s Kid Friendly Shift for the Backpack Program in the Spring of 2025. We packed boxes with shelf stable milk, juice boxes, cereal, canned meat lasagna, chips and fruit for food insecure school children for the weekend.   It was so much fun, we returned again in the Fall.

It was a joy to volunteer at the Pafford Place community in Gallatin painting two homes along with the homeowners. And a blessing to share the dedication day! We look forwarding to working with them in 2026 to help provide volunteers and funds for the next pocket neighborhood build in Gallatin, The Hudson.

FFAN helps acquire necessary items to assist foster families in their efforts to have successful placements.   

In June CMC members held a clothing drive to provide socks, underwear, diapers, toiletry items, pajamas. We helped restock and organize these items in their warehouse. And in July collected Legos and volunteers worked with the foster children during FFAN Brick by Brick Lego Camp.

Asheville, North Carolina, Hurricane Helene Relief work week, June 2025. Nine church members of CMC, led by Mission Discovery in Gallatin and working with 2 other Global Methodist Churches from middle Tennessee, helped 3 families with their homes. We built a new deck with a handicap ramp, installed kitchen cabinets and new flooring, cleared fallen trees and debris surrounding a home, and sorted/boxed donations in the Hearts with Hands warehouse to prepare for the upcoming hurricane season.

We love our Gene Brown Elementary School teachers! Giving back a little to those dedicated teachers by helping to set up their classrooms after the summer deep clean, before school started in August. Eighteen volunteers enjoyed the morning placing desks, cabinets and furnishings according to teacher maps. We look forward to this work event every year!
