In the winter of 2009, the Cape Ann Clergy Association recognized an increasing number of requests for help from low-income and homeless adults. A Needs Assessment Study identified a number of pressing needs including the absence of a safe day space for the homeless in Gloucester. On December 22, 2011, the Grace Center, Inc. opened as a day resource center with professional staff and volunteers. To date we have served over 700 individuals.

Do you love our programs at the Meetinghouse? Would you like to support our summer concert series in support of worthy local non-profits as a Sponsor? Last year we raised over $18K in free will donations while featuring great local musical groups and offering delicious food from local vendors. We call it doing good while having fun! All the proceeds go to our partner non-profits, so we rely entirely upon Sponsors like you to pay the expenses. Being a Sponsor is a great way to support your community and to have your name or business listed on all of our posters, season cards, and online publicity.
