The Start

Gifting Grace Project was started in the fall of 2020 with the purpose of giving back to the Acadiana community that had lost so much that year.

We quickly realized just how much help was needed when we reached out to the Lafayette Parish School System (LPSS) and they said there was close to 600 students enrolled In their homeless program. Little did we know, that one phone call would set us on the course to starting this nonprofit mission 4 months later.

After a successful 2020 Christmas outreach to 218 students and 3 families, Gifting Grace Project was birthed and energized to serve and support the homeless children In the community.

Our Mission is to freely love and support homeless and indigent children in our community, serve and empower those who have experienced trauma and to bring awareness and education to the community.

Through the generosity of our sponsors and the donations that we receive; Gifting Grace Project was able to help our community by:

• Coordinating with a school counselor to provide food for a homeless family with 5 children.
• Providing 2 new car seats to a mom and 7 children who are living in car.
• Buying the required clothes for a graduating senior to wear under his graduation cap and gown.
• Providing housing for 2 families with brand new appliances, furniture, televisions and more. 
• Much....much more.
