Seeds of Grace
When Helping Hurts
The 3-minute section in the video below helps explain our compassion philosophy in which we desire to offer individuals experiencing poverty, locally and around the globe, a hand up and not just a handout.
AC3’s Seeds of Grace ministry began in 1999 with one volunteer putting some free loaves of bread out on a card table. Today, Seeds continues to provide relief to individuals in our local community and at AC3. We choose to include individuals in their own relief process, believing it will best help and not hurt their long term growth and progress.
We serve the North Snohomish County area. Primarily Everett, Marysville, and Arlington areas.
Drop-In Resource Days
Open most TUES. & THURS. 11-3pm
On these days, we offer a cup of coffee and limited resources such as a single-serve food bag (or a bag of pantry staples for those with kitchen access), cold weather items, personal hygiene and other seasonal items, as available.
Our Mission:
- To offer Temporary Relief – Food and benevolence needs deemed a necessity.
- Hands-on Resources – Simple budgeting, local resource matching and resume help and options.
- Through Purposeful Relationships – An invite to join us in community life.
Our Vision:
To help individuals reach beyond emergency relief and encourage them to take next steps toward self-development and personal growth.
Next Steps…
- Drop in on Tue. or Thur. 11-3 pm for limited resources.
- Set up a RESOURCE APPOINTMENT.
- Complete a RESOURCE APPLICATION.
Upon completing a Resource Request Application and setting up an appointment with a Resource Consultant, we can meet and discuss the approval of a variety of small financial and benevolence type requests ‘deemed a necessity’. Most requests include creating a Next Step Action Plan or Pay-It-Forward option so individuals can participate in their own relief, giving them a sense of dignity and self-confidence that so many desire and deserve.
