About Us

We exist for

Safety, Love & Restoration

We know women experiencing personal crises and trauma feel a mix of fear, shame, guilt, and anger.

They are struggling to find freedom and healing.

If this is you and you're feeling isolated dealing with abuse, addiction, adverse childhood experiences, homelessness, or incarceration, then you need to know you're not alone.

If you've wondered if there was a way for your life to get better (truly better), so you can reunify with your children and family, heal from the pains of the past and move forward in life with a new level of self-confidence, then you came to the right place.

We know you want to become a safe, loved, and restored woman, and it's just plain wrong that you'd have to overcome trauma and crisis without support.
That's what we at Grace & Mercy are here for.

Since 2015, we've helped over 100 women just like you get to the root of their trauma and crisis and experience a new-found purpose for life. Our Founder and Executive Director, Joanna Mack, has experienced her own crisis and trauma. She has a huge heart for helping women restore their lives.

We are committed to helping you so you can stop feeling scared, shameful, guilty, and angry. Instead, you can focus on reunifying with your family, gain practical life skills, and change your life for the better.

Our Mission

Grace and Mercy is a non-denominational, Christ-centered, non-profit home dedicated to empowering women in crisis by extending the love of Christ. We believe in offering hope to the hopeless in changing lives.

Relationships will be formed with women in transition. We provide friendship and walk with them through their process of healing. Services will include housing, Bible study, educational opportunities, and training in life skills, home management, parenting, community involvement, and employment preparation and placement. The program is based on Biblical principles and Christ-centered guidance along with a proven program of daily organization.

Grace and Mercy will always partner with courts and law enforcement, local Christian churches and community agencies/groups for support and resources to aid in the ministry. We believe that only Jesus Christ has the power to completely heal and restore broken people.
