"I am so thankful for how Saving Grace has been a resource to me in starting Flourish Homes. Becky and the team have been gracious to share resources, advice and encouragement. It is so valuable to have Grace Collaborative, where we can bring like-hearted ministries to brainstorm and encourage one another. Together we learn ways to better serve our [clients] and have upright, well run nonprofit ministries."
