About Us

A Message From the Founder

Our journey began in 2019 with a simple mission launched from home: to serve those in need with dignity and compassion. What started as a grassroots effort has grown into a federally qualified 501(c)(3) organization, driven by a steadfast commitment to our community. We believe in the power of collective action and the importance of showing up for our neighbors, offering not just a meal, but a message of hope and respect.

Our Mission

God's Abundant Grace Ministries exists to feed and support the poor and homeless in Chattanooga—whoever they are and wherever they come from. We are dedicated to fostering and growing a community of volunteers built on a commitment to care, understanding, and mutual respect. Our goal is to meet basic needs like meals and clothing while providing pathways to self-sufficiency for our most vulnerable community members.

Our Impact

Since our inception, community sponsorships have fueled regular feeding events, serving dozens of individuals each week. A key achievement has been establishing a resource-sharing partnership with the Chattanooga Rescue Mission, which amplifies our food distribution and allows us to extend our reach. Through our dedicated network of volunteers and partners, we have steadily served an increasing number of our vulnerable neighbors since 2019.
