Seeds of Grace Grants Awarded in 2018!

November 2, 2018 by Rick Seaholm

The Board of Wider Mission is thrilled to announce that we have awarded grants totaling $39,900.00 from our new Seeds of Grace grant program. Grants went to the following organizations:

  • A Place to Turn to purchase “Good and Cheap” cookbooks designed to help people with low incomes make healthy, affordable meals;
  • African Community Education Program which matches immigrant youth with mentors in Worcester;
  • Greater Framingham Community Church in Framingham for their MLK Empowering Youth Conference and Vacation Bible School;
  • Just Peace Players for printing plays and traveling to special events;
  • Metrowest Free Medical Program which provides free medical care in our community;
  • Metrowest Workers Center (Casa), which empowers and supports local immigrants;
  • Open Spirit, our own multi-faith outreach program; and
  • Worcester Fellowship, which provides spiritual support and care, hot food, socks, and underwear to homeless people.

This is the first year of our grant program. We are pleased that so many organizations applied and sad that we couldn’t fund them all. Each project has direct connections with members of Edwards Church and offers opportunities for all church members to participate in their ministries!

Contact our board to learn more, and remember to invite organizations you know and love to apply next spring!
