Grace For Addictions is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to transforming lives, inspiring hope, and empowering our communities. While our services extend across the United States, the increasing need within the Greater Des Moines area highlights the urgent necessity for more localized resources. This event will be a great opportunity to learn more about us and help raise vital funds to continue providing resources and support for individuals and families affected by addiction and mental health challenges. By removing the financial barriers and facilitating professional coaching services designed to promote recovery, mental health, personal development, and overall well-being, we ensure help is accessible to all in need.
