Everyone has dealt with challenges.  Many neighbors in McElderry Park deal daily with major stress, trauma and grief.  Beyond ordinary living, the community has been a distressed underserved neighborhood where violence and poverty are part of the story.  Resilience and recovery are also a part of the story!

 

The Center for Grace-Full Living (CGL) receives wisdom from neighbors to find out what will make life better.  A core organizational value is that people closest to the challenges have the best insight to know what solutions will be meaningful and healing.  Resident-requested activities, courses & events are planned and carried out responding to input from neighbors.  All are offered for free to the community. Some offerings include NA/AA, mindfulness, meditation, creative writing, dance, accupuncture, massage, marshal arts, computer skills, legal assistance STD/I testing, counseling & more! We will continue to collaborate with partners seeking to bring free resources to share with the community.

 

Our doors are open every day during non-program/meeting hours for you to drop in for prayer, support, love or a cup of coffee/tea. One on one meetings with the AG Social Worker are available by appointment to help work individually with neigbhors and families to provide specialized support.
