Imagine facing the world with nothing but a trash bag to carry your belongings. That’s the heartbreaking reality for many foster youth.

Thanks to the incredible generosity of Naghedi NYC, these kids now have more than just a way to carry their things. They have high-quality, thoughtfully designed bags that send a powerful message: you matter.

These bags are not just practical. They represent dignity, a fresh start, and a community that cares.

We are so grateful to NAGHEDI for making a real impact in the lives of these children.

Let’s keep supporting and uplifting them together. Learn more about their mission and products at:

𝐌𝐞𝐞𝐭 𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐲, 𝐂𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐲, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐉𝐚𝐜𝐤𝐢𝐞! 💙

Since January 2023, Tracy, Cindy, and Jackie have been brightening Wednesdays at Table of Grace with one of the kids’ favorite weekly traditions—𝐂𝐫𝐚𝐟𝐭 𝐍𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭!

Tracy, a retired teacher from Chisholm Trail Middle School, was inspired to volunteer after years of welcoming Table of Grace youth into her classroom. After retiring, she found herself 𝐦𝐢𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐤𝐢𝐝𝐬 and the sense of purpose her work brought. She reached out to Grace to get involved—and brought Cindy and Jackie along with her. The 𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐨 quickly became a 𝐛𝐞𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐝 𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐆𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐞 𝐟𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐲.

Tracy says one of the most rewarding parts is seeing the kids' faces light up when they arrive and watching their 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐟𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐠𝐫𝐨𝐰 𝐭𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡 𝐚𝐫𝐭. Her passion for teaching spanned both elementary and middle school, and she’s always seen her work with children as a calling and 𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐢𝐜𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐆𝐨𝐝. In addition to her time at Grace, she’s also involved with a nonprofit called Hopefully Sow.

Cindy is constantly amazed by the 𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐝𝐮𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 each child brings to Craft Night. She finds deep joy in the way art connects them, reveals hidden talents, and fosters meaningful relationships. A teacher in various capacities throughout her career, Cindy has a special respect for the 𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐭𝐡 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐬𝐰𝐞𝐞𝐭𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 of the youth at Grace. “It’s an honor to be a small 𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐢𝐫 𝐣𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐧𝐞𝐲,” she shares.

Jackie lights up when talking about the joy on the kids’ faces as they dive into new projects each week. After spending 10 years working in a middle school library, Jackie is grateful for the opportunity to 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐲 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐭𝐡 in a space filled with love, creativity, and care.

Together, these three women bring color, connection, and consistency to the lives of our kids—𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐜𝐫𝐚𝐟𝐭 𝐧𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐚𝐭 𝐚 𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞.

𝐌𝐞𝐞𝐭 𝐌𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐂𝐡𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐨 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐉𝐨𝐞 𝐁𝐫𝐨𝐰𝐧! 💙

Two of our dedicated volunteers making a 𝐛𝐢𝐠 𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐭 behind the scenes!

Mike and Joe have been volunteering at Table of Grace for a little over a year now. Mike first learned about Grace from his wife, Betsy, a former volunteer. Not long after, he and Joe met Stacy at a Table of Grace event—and the rest is history. The two decided they wanted to help however they could, focusing their efforts on 𝐦𝐮𝐜𝐡-𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐝𝐞𝐝 𝐦𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐣𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐬 around the home.

Since then, they’ve gone above and beyond—assembling furniture, making repairs, and even reviving the garden so our kids can enjoy the outdoors in a beautiful space.

Mike, who spent 28 years at IBM before retiring, says this is the 𝐦𝐨𝐬𝐭 𝐫𝐞𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 work he’s ever done. With more time on his hands, he’s grateful to spend it giving back to a mission that matters.

Joe, a retired electrical engineer, felt drawn to make a more personal impact after his career. Seeing the difference Table of Grace makes in children’s lives has been especially meaningful for him. He feels honored to help create a space that feels safe, supportive, and 𝐟𝐮𝐥𝐥 𝐨𝐟 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞.

We are so grateful to have 𝐌𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐉𝐨𝐞 as part of our 𝐓𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐆𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐞 𝐟𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐲!

𝐌𝐞𝐞𝐭 𝐊𝐚𝐲 𝐍𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐨𝐧! 💙

One of our incredible volunteers bringing stories, smiles, and heart to Table of Grace!

Kay began volunteering with Table of Grace in early 2023 after she and her husband set out to find meaningful ways to support causes close to their hearts.

Once she was introduced to Grace, she felt an 𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐦𝐢𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 and dove right in.

She started out supporting our Grace365 program—driving young adults to appointments and helping with apartment checks. Then, in the fall, Kay shifted her focus to the younger kids at the shelter, where she’s truly found her rhythm and joy.

Every Monday, Kay reads a thoughtful book to the children—whether it’s tied to a seasonal theme or carries a deeper message—and then leads them in a fun craft or art project inspired by the story. She says it’s been one of the most rewarding experiences of her life.

Kay is continually inspired by the care, resilience, and love that surround these kids. Volunteering at Table of Grace has been, in her words, 𝐚 𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐞 𝐠𝐢𝐟𝐭.

Her dedication serves as a reminder each week that 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧 𝐬𝐦𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐠𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞𝐬—like reading a story or making a craft— help a child feel seen, safe, and valued.
