The GIU CHRISTMAS GRACE BAG Drive Help Us Deliver Grace!

 At GIU, we feel deeply called to remember those who are incarcerated, fostering genuine connection and building bonds through shared events and food.

We are currently sponsoring our annual GRACE BAG Drive to serve approximately 5,000 women and men in our area correctional facilities. Each GRACE BAG is a tangible sign of hope, containing:

  • Prepackaged food items.
  • Encouraging scripture verses.
  • A special GIU pamphlet featuring real testimonials from those formerly incarcerated.


A Powerful Day of Service

This year, the drive features an incredible moment of ministry:

On Saturday, December 3rd, GIU volunteers will be going inside Anson Women's Prison where they will work alongside 75 resident participants to assemble approximately 5,000 GRACE BAGS for their fellow incarcerated brothers and sisters.


This is truly an instance of those behind bars helping those behind bars!


How You Can Contribute

We are currently seeking both product and cash donations to reach our goal of 5,000 bags. Every item helps us deliver this message of grace and connection.

The items we are collecting now are listed below. The next time you're shopping, please consider adding an item or two to your cart.


Donation Pickup & Drop-off: Drop-off locations are listed below. and we'll even come and pick donations from you! In the meantime, please feel free to contact us by phone or email, and we'll be happy to stop by to pick up your generous donation at a time convenient for you.


Come join us! Whether in spirit or in deed, may we all be instruments in furthering the kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
