Arkansas team members were invited to don pink hardhats and turn the soil to celebrate the first phase of construction at Grace Farms in Centerton, Arkansas.
Grace Farms is the latest venture of Saving Grace, a nonprofit organization that provides safe housing and guidance for young women ages 18 to 25 who have aged out of foster care or are facing homelessness. Saving Grace collaborates with other nonprofits to teach the women life skills and provide support as they grow into adulthood.
While Saving Grace receives more than 150 applications each year, it is currently able to serve only 12 young women at a time. The new Grace Farms location, which includes three homes, will allow the organization to expand its services and house an additional 50 women at a critical time in their lives.
During the groundbreaking, our team members also had the opportunity to tour the new property and see the horses and stables Saving Grace uses for therapy. Grace Farms will also have a garden, chicken coop, trails and other outdoor features.
We’re proud to support this great project!
We partner with our communities and customers, providing the kind of energy that fuels those areas and the lives of those we serve. Feel free to share the stories and photos. Make sure to tag us on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn and Twitter.
