Kicking off May with a reminder to save the date because this year’s Giving Grace Breakfast is going to be something special.

The 3rd Annual Giving Grace Breakfast returns Thursday, October 22 at the North Club at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium.

Featuring keynote speaker Laurie Dhue, nationally recognized recovery advocate, speaker, and former award-winning anchor on CNN, MSNBC, and FOX News.

After interviewing presidents, world leaders, and headline makers for decades, Laurie now shares a powerful message of recovery, resilience, and hope.

Mark your calendars now. You will not want to miss this inspiring morning. Find more details and sponsorships opportunities in the link below: https://inthenameofgrace.org/giving-grace/

Has it really been two months since our second annual Giving Grace Breakfast? We heard powerful, hope-filled stories that showed exactly what your support makes possible.

If you missed it, you can catch those moments in our 2025 highlight video below.

As we head into the holidays, there are still meaningful ways to support our residents in need:

• Join the Giving GRACE Circle. Just $36 a month provides a resident with a bed for an entire year.
• Or make a one-time donation.

Give here: https://inthenameofgrace.org/donate/

As always, thank you for believing in second chances and in giving GRACE. Together, we make tomorrow possible.

Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.

Our Board of Directors gathered for our annual retreat last weekend. And the real headline here is that we were all in the same room at the same time. No Zoom squares. No mute buttons.

As someone wisely noted, that alone feels like a Christmas miracle.🎄

We also had the joy of welcoming two incredible new board members to the fold.

Please join us in celebrating Jessecah D***s, a successful event planner and Oxford House alum — and a powerful example of what sustained recovery can look like.

And also Kimberly Freese, a passionate and experienced leader in the behavioral health field — and someone who brings both deep expertise and a whole lot of heart to our mission.

Grateful for this team, this moment, and the work ahead in 2026.

As we move from Thanksgiving into the true season of giving, we invite you to do something meaningful during tomorrow's Giving Tuesday — to give GRACE.

GRACE supports Oxford House, Inc. across Missouri, providing safe, sober homes where people in recovery can rebuild their lives and rediscover hope. Your generosity keeps those doors open for the next person ready for a second chance.

At last month’s Giving GRACE Breakfast, we heard powerful stories of what your support makes possible. Watch more in the 2025 recap video below.

There are two ways to help on Giving Tuesday:

• Join the Giving GRACE Circle — $36 a month supports a resident’s bed for a year.

• Or make a one-time Giving Tuesday donation.

Thank you for believing in second chances and in giving GRACE. Together, we make tomorrow possible.

Nearly 1 in 6 Americans battle a substance use disorder, but less than 10% actually receive help. That's where we come in. With your help, we extend hope to others — especially in their most desperate times of need.

As part of Oxford House, Inc. in Missouri, we provide safe, sober living – giving recovering addicts a chance to evolve.

We're still riding our post-breakfast buzz (and it wasn’t just the strong coffee). Our 2nd Annual Giving Grace Breakfast was a huge success — and that’s all thanks to YOU.

While we’re still crunching the numbers, let’s just say y’all showed up big. Extra cheers to our keynote speaker, Scott Spiezio, who brought honesty, humor, and not one but two World Series rings. (We’re still a little starstruck.)

In the Name of Grace continues to thrive because of our incredible supporters, generous sponsors, and everyone who believes in our mission. We couldn’t do it without you — and frankly, we wouldn’t want to.
