      Grace Resource hands out clothes to those in need via a voucher system with their thrift store. Anyone in need of clothing can go to Grace and get a voucher for the thrift store they operate and get free clothes (and some housewares I think). They sell donated clothes as well to keep Grace Resources afloat.
