Co-op Services

Co-op Services is a branch of the Grace Care Center where friends meet one-on-one with a volunteer 'Mentor' to share their story, and receive personalized coaching on how to move towards a more sustainable, healthy lifestyle.

Our team of volunteer Mentors is ready and willing to sit with you, listen to your story, and help identify one or two steps to begin taking towards sustainable life change. Oftentimes, our volunteers are able to refer you to someone in the community for additional guidance.

Whether you're seeking legal advice, need budgeting guidance, or seeking to improve your emotional and social health, we'd be honored to walk alongside you in your journey!

To be considered for Co-op Services, you must request a paper application from a Care Center staff member during normal operating hours. Once you submit your application, you'll sit down with a volunteer to access your needs before being admitted to the program.

Use of Co-op Services is limited to friends who have been utilizing the Grace Care Center Choice Food Pantry -or- attending ESL Classes for a minimum of 30 days.

To get started with Co-op Services, please ask for a paper application from a Care Center staff member during normal operating hours.

After returning your completed paper application, you'll sit down with a volunteer (or staff member) for a brief chat to discuss your specific needs.

You can expect to sit with a volunteer 'Mentor' who will listen to your personal story, and work hard to offer attainable ideas and steps that will lead to incremental improvement, and eventually, a healthy and sustainable lifestyle.

Although additional meetings may be suggested by your volunteer 'Mentor', you can expect a minimum of one in-person meeting each month.
