In a quiet room, I waited alone for someone to deliver the news I almost undoubtedly knew to be true.

The door opened, she walked in and told me I was pregnant.

If there is one thing that is true in our world today, across all industries, it's that technology is more critical than ever. From websites and social media to databases and security systems, having up-to-date technology can make or break your organization…

On Monday, August 15, Grace’s Table hosted our first-ever Diaper Day. Between 4 pm and 7 pm, Teen Mamas from all over Grand Rapids were invited to stop by the Richmond House to pick up diapers, wipes, and a literacy kit for their kiddos.

On Friday, June 24, the Richmond house was filled with life. Every space was alive with chatter and overflowing with love and grace. This would be the final of 419 Fridays spent gathered in our space here at Grace's Table.

The summer is a critical time for nonprofit organizations, and we need your help to ensure that Teen Mamas continue to have access to the critical resources they need, all year long. Here are 10 ways that you can have fun, and do good during the Grace’s Table Week of Giving!

If you were to visit the Richmond House in 2019, you would have found the space lively with the coming and going of Teen Mamas and their kiddos. During the day, mamas would stop by to grab a snack, do a load of laundry, and rest in the company of people who love and care for them. This time was a favorite for our mamas, they loved having the freedom to come when they wanted, and leave when they needed. They found comfort in knowing that Grace’s Table would be available to them no matter what.

But then 2020 came, and the doors of the Richmond House closed.

When was the last time you took a moment to pause and breathe deeply? And when I say deeply, I mean really deeply. A nice big, fully belly breath, followed by a great big sigh. It’s an incredible way to release stress and replenish energy. Thanks to the Feral Yogi, Grace’s Table and many of our amazing champions got a chance this week to do just that.

Last month, Grace’s Table had the privilege of opening the doors of our Richmond House to the public for our Spring Open House. It was an incredibly fun night, filled with laughter, good questions, and delicious hot cocoa.
