The fact is that you never know when something you say will have an important impact on someone. One of our interviewers here at Grace Network heard a touching story from one of our clients this morning which reminded her of that fact. The woman was a first-time client of Grace Network who had come in to request some emergency food. When the interviewer asked her how she had heard of Grace Network, she smiled and told her that she had seen Barry Nelson on cable TV. Mr Nelson, whose car dealerships are generous donors to Grace Network, had talked about us, the good work that we do, and why his company supports us. Obviously, the woman was impressed. And not only that, she realized that Grace Network might be able to help her out in her hour of need. Which we did!
The board members, staff, and volunteers of Grace Network send out a bouquet of thanks to Barry Nelson for his support and advocacy for the good work that we do here. We hope he will see this and know that his efforts have definitely made a big difference in this community.
Many, many thanks!
