WE LOVE VOLUNTEERS!

"I was in prison and you visited me." — Matthew 25:36

On February 28th, Grace It Up is heading back to City Church Gastonia for another high-impact day of service, and we need your hands! We are on a mission to multiply our "loaves and fish" to provide tangible hope to thousands of our brothers and sisters behind bars—and we can't do it without you.

Our goal is to recruit at least 50 volunteers to help us sort, pack, and pray over thousands of Grace Bags.

• When: Saturday, February 28, 2026
• Time: 11:00 AM – ~2:00 PM
• Where: City Church Gastonia Student Center (3100 City Church St, Gastonia, NC 28056)
• Perks: Lunch will be provided for all volunteers! Come serve with us and enjoy a meal and fellowship with the GIU team.

We need an army of volunteers to keep the assembly lines moving. This is a family-friendly event—perfect for small groups, youth groups, and families who want to serve together.

To meet facility safety regulations, we are strictly collecting unopened, prepackaged food items. Please help us stock up on:

• Salty Snacks: Individually wrapped crackers, chips, or pretzels.
• Sweet Treats: Little Debbie snacks, snack cakes, and moon pies.
• Quick Energy: Breakfast bars, protein bars, and granola bars.
• Candy: Individually wrapped chocolates and hard candies.

If you can't join us in person, you can still be part of the multiplication. A gift of $15.02 covers the total cost of one Grace Bag and a hot meal for a resident. Every dollar helps us reach our 5,000-resident goal for 2026!

At Grace It Up, we believe the Blood of Jesus is enough to cover any past. Join us in Gastonia and help us share that message of hope!
