Grace House

Call Website

A non-profit in Lawrence Co., TN designed to provide resources and grace to children, families & DCS.

Mission:
Lawrence County (TN) DCS Community Response Team is designed to aid children as they come into custody with age specific needs through a multifaceted approach. Through this approach, resources and grace are offered to not only the children, but also to DCS workers and placement families. Synopsis:
Lawrence County is eleventh in the state of Tennessee, first in the state’s south-central region, for highest volume of children in foster care, not including next-of-kinship placements (family members, neighbors, friends, baby-sitters, etc.).

“All too often, when children come into custody, all they have is the clothing on their backs, may have to remain at a police station for many hours until a DCS worker can collect them, and then they may have to sleep at the DCS office until they find permanent placement,” Nicole Miller, Lawrence County Drug Endangered Children’s Coordinator said. Grace House provides these children a welcoming place to rest instead of the DCS office. Often times, not only are the children experiencing trauma, but so are the first responders and DCS workers. GH will provide them the grace they may need after such events. GH will provide the children warm meals, hygiene items, fresh clothes and any other such resources to meet their needs, so, this will require pantries for food, clothing, hygiene items, and DCS care bags for when they enter a permanent placement.
“How can we convince the children that we are helping them by removing them from a dangerous situation, if we are not ready to meet even their most basic needs with the appropriate resources,” Miller said.

“Through your partnership, we can help deescalate an already traumatic experience for everyone involved. A little grace may go a long way and team work makes the dream work. It will take the whole village working together to ensure these children – our children – feel at home.”

💛Thank You for Being apart of our Village ! Our Grace House visitors are going to be over the moon with these sweet gifts !

💛 DAY 5 of giving back to the community to celebrate our 10 year anniversary ! 💛

For Day 5, we were blessed to donate kids’ toys to Grace House here in Lawrence County! 🧸❤️

Grace House provides a safe, home-like place for children entering foster care when an immediate placement may not be available. During what can be a scary and uncertain time, they help provide children with comfort, necessities, and a place where they can simply feel like a kid.

We hope these toys bring a few extra smiles and a little bit of joy to the children who come through their doors. ❤️

We are so thankful for organizations like Grace House that love and care for children right here in our community! Please follow them on here to find all the ways you can help out!

5 days down celebrating 10 years of being a Good Neighbor! 🎉

💛 WHERE COMMUNITY HAPPENS WEDNESDAY!!! 💛

Today we're highlighting Shannon and Darryl Watson, owners of U-Save, Opal & Evelyn’s, and Crockett Cinemas.
They are always quick to step up and support Grace House and the LCSAP Coalition.

Whether it's donations, support, or helping with transportation, they are always willing to lend a hand. They understand that something as simple as a ride can be a barrier for a child, and they help make sure it doesn't stand in the way.

They also love sharing movie nights with our Grace House visitors — some who have never had that experience before. Their staff goes above and beyond giving our visitors the best experience too!

We are so grateful for local businesses like theirs who continually show up for the children of LawCo. Thank you both for making a difference!

💛WHERE COMMUNITY HAPPENS WEDNESDAY!! 💛

Amish Country Depot is run by some of the most salt-of-the-earth people ever — Tyler and Tori Jones.

Tori serves on the Grace House Board, and we are so grateful to have people and businesses in our county who show up for our children, so please check out their business. You won't be disappointed.

This gem is where old-fashioned flavor, Southern hospitality, and a little nostalgia come together. Stop in for fresh hand-patted burgers, hand-dipped ice cream, and plenty of local goods and old-fashioned favorites. More than just a place to eat, Tyler and Tori hope the Depot feels like a little step back in time where you can slow down, shop around, and stay a while.
