what is grace place?

There's something new in town - a busy and exciting place - Grace Place.

Grace Place is a neighborhood, faith-based, community center in the heart of Golden Gate City (just 10 miles from downtown Naples).

Our mission is to provide a place where the lives of impoverished children and families are supported, enhanced and enriched.

A place where all children in our community have the opportunity to thrive.

Golden Gate city has been recently identified by the NCEF study on Child Well-Being in Collier County as the highest pocket of need in all of Collier County (outside Immokalee). Language barriers, poverty, crime, hunger and over-crowded living conditions, plague these children's chances for healthy development.
