2021 Heat Respite officially kicked off June 7, 2021. Monday through Friday from 9:00 am until 5:00 pm, Grace opened the courtyard to people in the community trying to get relief from the heat. Participants enjoyed snacks and sack lunches every day. Thank you to the congregations that prepared the sack lunches and donated snacks! Donors have piled in the water; Devalyn, Christine, and Eileen prepared a delicious chicken meal on Friday. Participants doubled as volunteers, helping to set up and clean up. Thank you to all, who have made sure that Grace is a safe space for people this summer. Please enjoy pictures from the first week of fun at Grace’s 2021 Heat Respite. If you would like to volunteer or donate, contact our Outreach Coordinators (Phyllis and Adrienne) at outreach@graceinthecity.com or (602)258-3787.
