About

Grace Place puts faith into action, providing pathways out of poverty by educating children and families. Our vision is to see that all families in Golden Gate have access to education to break the cycle of poverty. We embrace diversity, equity, and inclusiveness, knowing that unique ideas come from everyone. Modeling these values makes us better educators. We listen to all voices, welcome opinions, and learn from our differences. That’s the Grace Place way. Grace Place has designed a comprehensive scaffold of programs to serve the entire family by including early childhood education, youth education, adult education, P.A.C.T. (parent and child together) time and interactive family literacy activities. By engaging both the parent and child, our programs provide a comprehensive model to create an educational environment beyond the classroom, into the home. 

Although education is the core focus of Grace Place and its mission, the Food Pantry, which is the largest food distribution point for the Harry Chapin Food Bank in Collier County, serves over 2,500 families a year.
