Grateful Girls Inc.

Grateful Girls is a non-profit organization that is geared to inspire, motivate and encourage girls, teens and women of all ages and serve those that have escaped the sex-trafficking industry. We understand that one of the most pivotal moments in a woman’s life is between the age of 12-25. The decisions they make during this time have a lasting effect on the rest of their lives. One of our goals is to provide young ladies within this age group the support they need during this crucial time of development in making healthy decisions and investing in healthy relationships. 

We have a community resource center that is open five days a week and provide walk-ins with essential toiletries, clothing, and food. In addition we have a growing curriculum built to empower these young women through group therapy, mentoring, social services, expressive and visual art, poetry, writing, and gardening to encourage healthy outlets and support emotional regulation. 

We continue to rehab our building one project at a time and every donation helps us to maintain and grow our programming so we can continue to create a loving and vibrant atmosphere for the young women of our community. We believe that the cultivation of young women will make a positive impact on families, neighborhoods and the community. 

Currently our biggest need is funding to fully replace the roof at the resource center, have some of our windows sealed properly, purchase an air conditioning unit for the summer, lay new floors on the lower level, and take care of some plumbing. 

As we look to the future we envision a day where we will have the Grateful Girls Safe Block that will include our current Community Resource Center and a Halfway House for young women that have aged out of the system but need a place to stay in life’s moments of transitions.
