That’s the backdrop for Giving Grace which was founded by Christy Betz. She had volunteered at a homeless ministry and met people with straightforward, solvable needs.
More than half of American families are earning less than $60,000 dollars a year. Nearly three-quarters of middle-class families say their income is falling behind the cost of living. It's all resulting in a widening pool of people who may be a job loss or a life tragedy away from being deeply in need.
Today, Giving Grace is a Facebook group with dozens of requests a week and thousands of members who collectively step up. Betz and her team deal with power companies and landlords, court cases and public transportation cards. Her store is her newest partnership— a food pantry called The Grocery Spot in a well-known Atlanta food desert.“You know, I have grandkids. They stay with me, and they like to eat,” Taylor said.“I was homeless before, so I know how it feels. You don’t have to be homeless to need help with your food and stuff like that. Times are hard. Groceries are high," she said.
