Mission Statement
Grace Community Services provides vital support for some of the most exposed residents of Jersey City: people who are hungry and our elderly community members. Our two main programs are Grace Senior Center for Healthy Living and Breakfast Plus. Both programs are the only ones in downtown Jersey City meeting these ever expanding needs.
About This Cause
Grace Community Services (GCS) promotes respect for human dignity for people whose chances of a promising future are diminished by isolation and food and housing insecurity. We do this by mobilizing hundreds of volunteers to effect change in people’s lives. GCS operates the Senior Center for Healthy Living every weekday and the Breakfast Plus program every weekend morning to: - Provide a safe space where people who are unemployed and underemployed, homeless, elderly and isolated find community, opportunities for engagement, advocacy, health and wellness programming and direction. - Fill gaps by providing nutritious meals for those suffering from food insecurity. - Promote healthy aging and help people maintain or establish independent living. - Educate the broader community about hunger, homelessness and the needs of isolated seniors in Jersey City and Hudson County. - Provide opportunities for everyone to experience self-worth by sharing the privilege of service.
