On Sunday, September 28, GraceWorks Ministries invites the community to come together for Good Neighbor Day, a delicious way to make a difference. Partnering restaurants across Franklin and Brentwood will donate a portion of proceeds to GraceWorks, directly supporting its food pantry and helping families in crisis.
GraceWorks, a Franklin-based nonprofit with the vision of “neighbors serving neighbors by the power of God’s grace,” provides food, clothing, shelter and support services for more than 15,000 local families each year. With assistance needs in our area on the rise, proceeds from Good Neighbor Day will help GraceWorks to continue serving neighbors with dignity and compassion.

To participate, neighbors are encouraged to dine at one of the listed restaurants on September 28, and mention “GraceWorks” when ordering or paying so that proceeds are directed to the ministry’s food pantry.
“Good Neighbor Day is more than just a fundraiser. It’s a chance for our community to come together in fellowship and generosity,” said Tom Starling, Development Director at GraceWorks. “Every meal purchased helps us feed local families and live out our calling to be neighbors serving neighbors.”
