Join our mission to remember our brothers and sisters
behind bars and those recently released.
Luke 7:40-43
At Grace It Up Prison Ministry, our mission is to show the love of Jesus Christ to those men and women in jails and prisons. We believe in the power of feeding both the body with good food, and feeding the soul with the Bible & real Christian testimonies, to both those on the inside as well as on the outside. As documented in the book of Luke, there are 10 accounts of Jesus eating with others, including two after the resurrection. Jesus understood better than anyone the power of breaking bread together, developing that bond with someone, regardless of background, just as a friend would do when dining at the same table. Our purpose is simple- to be instruments of God to those incarcerated and formerly incarcerated in spreading the Good News that offers hope & salvation to all who believe in Jesus Christ as their eternal savior!
We work with and support a variety of programs and services to those who are currently incarcerated as well as those transitioning from behind bars to the outside world. Whether its through serving hot fresh meals, speaking to youth & groups, collecting toiletries, assisting those who have recently been released, or just listening, we want to be the hands & feet of Jesus Christ. This year, GIU is expected to serve over 4000 residents at local correctional facilities! What a BLESSING to be a part of!!!
We would love to have you join us!
Over the past 2 years, over 60 volunteers have come together and have served over 1,800 meals and Grace Bags to individuals in our local incarcerated community. Many of our volunteers have spent time behind bars. But with their life changed, they want to give back. We just to remind those that are often forgotten that we are thinking ab out them, praying for them, that God loves them and so do we!
Our GRACE BAG is for the residents incarcerated at local men's and women's correctional facilities. We're gathering supplies now to show our brothers and sisters that God loves them and we do too!! The deadline for donations for our next event is December 14, 2024.
C'mon! We would LOVE to have you join us!!

In the first year of Grace It Up, we've witnessed the power of compassion and kindness in our incarcerated community. Thanks to the hard work and dedication of our team of over 25 GIU volunteers, we've been able to serve more than 1,000 meals to those who need it most. and in 2024, we're scheduled to share Jesus Christ with over 4000 incarcerated men & women. One thing that makes our volunteers unique is that many of them have a personal connection to the justice system - they've been where these individuals are now, and they know firsthand the struggles and challenges they face. But through their own journeys of transformation and growth, they've discovered a deep desire to give back and make a positive difference in the lives of others.

Anthony Willis, also known as Smiley, was once a troubled young man. After committing a serious crime at just 16 years of age, Smiley found himself behind bars with a life sentence and no chance of parole. Despite not growing up in a religious home, his life changed when he met two persistent ministers who introduced him to the gospel. Through reading the Bible and prayer, he began to develop his faith, even though his initial prayers were focused on deliverance from his situation. Though his bargaining prayer was not answered in the way he hoped, he did not give up on his faith entirely. It was through the persistence of a fellow inmate that he began to reconsider his relationship with God. Now, Anthony’s story serves as a testament to the power of faith and the possibility of redemption.
