Upon meeting Stephanie Campbell two years ago, I was immediately taken by her drive and dedication to the children and families of Golden Gate City. After a little research into the mission and history of Grace Place, I knew it was an organization that I wanted to help in any way I could.
I consider what Grace Place does for the families of Golden Gate City to be social sustainability. The mission of Grace Place is based on the premise that we, as Christians, have an obligation to sustain and elevate the less fortunate. As an architect, I believe that we also have an obligation to do what we can to sustain our natural environment. In my time as the architect for Grace Place, it is clear that Stephanie, the Building Committee and Board of Directors share this belief.
The commitment Grace Place has made to building a “green” campus shows that they want not only be good stewards of our natural resources but through energy savings and building longevity, they are proving to be good financial stewards of the funds generously given by donors and grants.

I met Rev. Stephanie Campbell through the Hunger and Homeless Coalition several years ago. Initially, I was introduced to the food pantry program at Grace Place, but I was even more impressed to learn about the variety of human services that the organization offers.
As a father and a business leader, I believe that strong communities are built by strong families. While the food pantry at Grace Place provides vital nutrition, I know that the impact of the life skills programs will last for decades. Grace Place is teaching a generation of at-risk children that there is hope and that they can be a part of something positive in their own neighborhood.
We are so proud to be a part of the Grace Place family through this campus expansion program. We look forward to seeing more smiles, more learning and more laughter... as we grow together.

I learned about Grace Place six years ago when I volunteered to help build their playgrounds, along with 200 other volunteers. I have enjoyed helping them grow and I am impressed with the impact they are making on this neighborhood.
Waste Management is a proud supporter of Grace Place. We have helped the students start a recycling program, provided toys at Christmas and helped with special events. Our 136 employees who live locally enjoy giving back to our community and the Grace Place Building Project will help many local families in the Collier County community.
Waste Management would like to THANK all the volunteers and staff that work at Grace Place. Your daily commitment to the families you serve makes our Community a great place to live.
