Race for Grace Place is a 5K Run and Walk raising funds to sustain Grace Place, located at Galloway United Methodist Church in Jackson, MS. We are a community that serves the needs of people who are food insecure. We have breakfast 4 days a week, provide a clothing closet, worship opportunities, and celebrations. As followers of Jesus, we are striving to build unlikely friendships between housed and unhoused, well-fed and hungry, and those of varied life circumstances.
