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 800 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 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 children and their families, serve and empower those who have experienced trauma and to bring awareness and education to the community.
