WHO WE ARE
OUR STORY
Serving with Grace was born from something deeply personal: we know what it feels like to face difficult times.
Founded in 2016 by husband and wife Kino and Evangeline Clarke, Serving with Grace was birthed out of our own experiences growing up in low-income households. We understand firsthand the challenges that families can face when there simply isn't enough to meet every need. Those experiences never left us. Instead, they became part of the reason we felt called to serve.
We started Serving with Grace with a simple belief: no one should have to face difficult times alone, and everyone deserves to be treated with dignity.
Our name, "Serving with Grace", is rooted in our faith and reflects the heart behind everything we do. Coming from years of working with youth ministry programs, we wanted to do more in working with children and families.
For us, Grace is more than a name. It is a way of serving. It means showing love, compassion, kindness, and respect to every person who walks through our doors or receives support from our organization.
We believe that needing help should never mean losing your dignity. Whether someone is receiving food, clothing, household necessities, children's items, or other resources, we want them to feel welcomed, valued, respected, and cared for—not judged by their circumstances.
Our Mission
Serving with Grace, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to helping children, families, and individuals experiencing economic hardship by providing essential goods, resources, and services.
Our mission is to help rebuild the lives of children, families, and individuals experiencing economic challenges by providing essential goods and services. We aim to provide a place where people can receive the resources they need while being treated with the dignity, respect, and compassion they deserve.
We aim to help meet immediate needs while reminding people that they matter, they are valued, and they are not alone.
More Than Giving -
It's How We Serve
Over the years, what began as a simple desire to help has grown into a community of people committed to making a difference throughout South Florida, with a strong focus on Broward and Miami-Dade counties, with expansion into Palm Beach County.
We believe there is a difference between simply receiving a donation and being served with compassion. That's why we strive to create an environment where individuals and families feel comfortable asking for help and know they will be treated with kindness and respect.

Showing Up with Grace
Our Impact
At Serving with Grace we empower families to rebuild their lives with dignity and hope.
One such family we had the privilege to assist is Arielle and her three sons. Fleeing domestic violence, Arielle sought refuge and found solace through our services.
​
​"I want to thank you so much for your kindness towards the boys and me," Arielle shared. "I was taken aback by the love shown to them amidst the turmoil we were facing. But I am so grateful for you and your husband's empathy for us. My boys talk about the 'special place' all the time! That's what they call your organization."​
​
At Serving with Grace, we strive to be that 'special place'—a beacon of hope and support for families like Arielle's. Through our programs, including Grace's Closet and our Food Pantry, we aim to meet immediate needs and foster an environment where individuals can thrive. Join us in our mission to make a positive impact in our community, one family at a time.
