GRACE Grapevine

What GRACE Grapevine does

GRACE Grapevine (legally Grapevine Relief and Community Exchange) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit relief agency founded in 1987 that provides food, clothing, medical care, housing support, and emergency financial assistance to low-income individuals and families in Northeast Tarrant County, Texas (including Grapevine, Southlake, Colleyville, Hurst, Euless, Bedford, and Keller). The organization operates a continuum-of-care model with five core programs—Food Pantry (self-select grocery assistance), Emergency Assistance (rent/utility crisis intervention), Community Clinic (medical home with diagnostic exams, labs, and medication management), Mentorship Housing (two-year transitional housing with life skills coaching), and Friends & Family Senior Services—plus seasonal programs including Christmas Cottage, Feed Our Kids (summer lunch), and Back to School Supplies. In FY2025, GRACE served 10,177 unduplicated individuals, recorded 9,969 food pantry visits, hosted 4,568 clinic patient visits, secured 742 homes through rental assistance and housing programs, and served 32,184 summer lunches. Demand has stabilized at roughly 50%+ above pre-2020 baselines after peaking at 12,311 during COVID-19.

GRACE has no proprietary technology systems disclosed; operations are coordinated across multiple physical sites using staff-based care management and the Galaxy Digital 'Get Connected' volunteer management platform, which handles approximately 3,900 active volunteers. Social-enterprise revenue is generated through GRACEful Buys, an upscale resale operation with three locations (Grapevine store, Outlet at Donation Station, and the GRACEful-e eBay storefront) selling donated merchandise at 60-75% below retail, with 100% of proceeds funding programs. All client services are provided free of charge to eligible residents.

Revenue is diversified across individual and corporate donations, monthly recurring gifts, special events (GRACE Gala in its 23rd year in 2026, Designer Bags & Bingo, 24 Hours of GRACE campaign), grants, and resale revenue. The 24 Hours of GRACE 2026 campaign raised $92,314 with a $100,000 match donor commitment. The organization maintains 37+ faith-based partner organizations and key corporate partners including Classic Chevrolet (17-year presenting Gala sponsor), LifeBranch Wealth Partners, the Joanne E. Jody Matthews Estate, and John Peter Smith Health Network (referral partner for specialty medical services). GRACE holds a Four-Star Charity Navigator rating and a Platinum Candid Seal, and is governed by a Board of Directors chaired under CEO Rebecca Cox.

Direct peers

• Tarrant Area Food Bank: Regional food bank serving Tarrant County; directly partners with GRACE for food assistance and nutrition education. Operates a larger-scale food distribution model in the same service geography, making it the closest comparable peer.
• Catholic Charities Fort Worth: Faith-based social services nonprofit in the same DFW footprint offering emergency assistance, food, housing, and refugee/immigrant services. Operates a similar continuum-of-care model for low-income households in overlapping Tarrant County geographies.
• Meals on Wheels of Tarrant County: Tarrant County nonprofit delivering meals and supportive services to seniors — directly comparable to GRACE's Friends & Family senior services program. Operates in the same geographic catchment with a similar volunteer-driven delivery model.
• Goodwill Industries of Fort Worth: Nonprofit social enterprise operating resale stores to fund job training and community programs. Closest analog to GRACE's GRACEful Buys resale business model and use of donated goods revenue to fund mission-aligned services in the same region.
• Community Enrichment Center (Mid-Cities): Northeast Tarrant County-based nonprofit offering food pantry, financial assistance, and senior services to households in Hurst, Euless, Bedford, and Colleyville — overlapping GRACE's service area with a comparable program mix and client base.
• Habitat for Humanity of Tarrant County: Affordable housing nonprofit operating in Tarrant County with a volunteer-intensive, faith-partner-supported model. Comparable to GRACE's Mentorship Housing program in mission (housing stability for low-income households) and operating approach (volunteer leverage, faith partnerships).

Broad incumbents

• Feeding America (national): National hunger-relief network of which Tarrant Area Food Bank (a GRACE partner) is a member. Relevant as the umbrella organization shaping food supply dynamics for GRACE's pantry program and as a competing national fundraising brand.
• United Way of Tarrant County: Regional umbrella funder and direct service operator; competes for the same corporate donor relationships (Classic Chevrolet, local employers) and could be either a funder or competitor to GRACE depending on campaign structure. Larger brand and broader scope.
• Salvation Army of North Texas: Large national nonprofit providing emergency assistance, food, housing, and seasonal programs across the same Tarrant County region. Directly comparable service mix but with national branding, larger fundraising infrastructure, and broader geographic scope.

Regional players

• Mansfield Mission Center: Faith-based nonprofit in adjacent Tarrant County submarket providing food pantry, financial assistance, and seasonal programs. Comparable operational model with similar volunteer/donation funding structure, serving a nearby but distinct catchment.
