Grace Place continues expanding mission

Grace Place, an organization with a 20-year history of serving single women and their families, is announcing plans to develop a future Family Care Center and Transitional Shelter Facility in Rushford, and to continue increasing services into other southeastern communities as financing becomes available.
Grace Place began in Winona as a home for single women and their children, later growing into a life skills education center and thrift store on Second Street in downtown Winona. The organization provides Christian guidance, mentoring, life skills, support and encouragement for women with unplanned pregnancies and families experiencing brokenness and change. On the eve of celebrating its 20th anniversary, it embarked on its newest thrift store and outreach center approximately a year ago in Rushford. The Rushford store has experienced tremendous success in a short time.
According to Carla Burton, Grace Place Executive Director, the organization’s goal is ‘neighbors helping neighbors’ by responding to the increasing need for shelter and other social services. The organization plans to meet these needs by creating a Family Care Center (child care center) and Transitional Shelter Facility in Rushford, which will eventually house three families for extended periods of time until they are ready to move out on their own. If a Rushford homeowner is interested in donating a home for this important cause, area residents may contact Carla Burton at 507-459-5241.
“The Family Care Center will enable at-risk parents who are working to have an opportunity for childcare based on a sliding fee scale. If the parent is not working, the Family Care Center will provide a positive atmosphere where the parent and child may be together. This will promote healthy relationships between parents and children. The Family Care Center will also offer working families who are not at-risk, creating additional revenue for Grace Place to continue its mission,” says Burton.
The vision for the Transitional Shelter Facility goes beyond basic human need for shelter. Carla Burton believes through support and education, mothers to-be and young families will grow from brokenness into renewal, spiritual wholeness and emotional security. The organization will teach life skills to help bring families out of poverty.
Poverty and homelessness is a very real area of concern for the Grace Place’s Burton and its board of .....
