Bring “Grace” Home

In 2023, we transitioned our existing program to Grace Farms, where we are growing to serve 50 young women at a time! Friend, there is still much work to be done to bring this dream to fruition—we need YOU!

Phase II Update

Grace Farms Phase Plans

Phase I (Completed)

Grace Cottage is fully funded & was completed in Summer 2023. This allowed Saving Grace to move our current program entirely to Grace Farms. “Pink Shirt” is phase one of our current program—a time for healing and a fresh start. Pink Shirt phase puts the brakes on survival mode and provides “Grace” with an opportunity to learn new healthy rhythms and routines. Upon completing Phase II, Grace Cottage will solely become home for the young women in Pink Shirt Phase.
Phase IB (Completed)

CARE Center stands for Community, Alumni, and Resident Empowerment. The CARE Center will enable Saving Grace to be a light in Northwest Arkansas in a deeper and more meaningful way by offering a space for coaching sessions, life skills for current residents and alumni, parenting classes, a space to serve individuals in crisis that need immediate help with food & other basic necessities, and a space to provide support for foster and adoptive families. This space also serves as the Saving Grace offices currently.
Phase II (60% funded)

The completion of Grace House will enable Grace Cottage to fulfill its ultimate purpose: a place for young women in the Pink Shirt Phase of the program. Grace House will become a home for 19 young women in the freshman through junior phases of the program. In this home, "Grace" will gain a little more freedom and more responsibility as she continues working toward independence. These intermediate phases are where the majority of the program takes place, as “Grace” masters one valuable skill on top of another.
Phase III

Future plans for growth include the addition of tiny homes: Grace at the Grove. When “Grace” moves into the Senior phase, she will have the chance to practice independent living in her own place! This is an opportunity to put into practice all of the skills that she has learned so far. She will continue to attend life skills classes—tailored to her specific needs as a senior—while she moves toward true independence.

“I want this to be my last stop before I’m fully independent.”

These are the words “Grace” uttered recently after touring Saving Grace and applying for the program.

In 18 years, she had been in and out of temporary foster homes, longing for a sense of safety and belonging in a place that truly felt like home and offered her the relationships and opportunities she needed to become independent.

Friend, this is just one of the countless stories we hear daily that reiterates the call God has placed before us as a community—to enlarge our house, build additions, spread out our homes, and bring more young women into this program so they too can break the cycle of poverty for generations to come. Will you help us welcome “Grace” home?

Equine Therapy

Grace Farms is home to nine amazing horses that support “Grace” in therapy—helping her grow in confidence and heal from past trauma. On any given day, you can find “Grace” in the stable, grooming horses, sharing treats, or working with them in the arena!

We partner with licensed equine-assisted therapists who use horses to facilitate deeper healing for trauma victims. We also plan to offer these services to foster families throughout Northwest Arkansas.

Community Garden

There is something sacred about a seed. How miraculous that something so tiny can grow to produce a fruitful plant for years. This is precisely how we see Grace Farms, a place for growth that will produce fruit for generations. The gardens provide both healthy vegetables and beautiful flowers for “Grace” to enjoy and tend to. Most importantly, “Grace” gains the experience of starting small and watching growth occur around her. In the process, growth and healing happen within her, too.
