Whatever you do to the least of these you do unto Me. - Jesus (Matthew 25:35-40)
If you can't feed a hundred hungry people, feed just one. - Mother Teresa
Bags of Grace is a ministry of love to the homeless and a simple way to assist those who are living on the streets of Austin. What is a A Bag of Grace? It is simply a one-gallon ziploc plastic bag filled with specific non-perishable food items and other basics we often take for granted. We know it won't solve homelessness but it is a tangible way we can make a small difference.
