Youth Advisory Council

GRACE meets community needs with community resources to enable the good health and success of our vulnerable and underserved neighbors.

We distribute food and supplies on Thursdays from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. and 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. to Summit residents and the people who work, worship and receive care in Summit at the Summit Community Center (100 Morris Avenue, Summit). GRACE distributes 16,000 pounds of food and supplies (including produce, choice table products, milk, eggs, bread, toilet tissue) to Summit neighbors each week.

Youth Advisory Council - 

High school students from public and private schools in the area gather to complete service projects and to discuss current community issues with local leaders each month. Topics of discussion have included equity in education, community policing, and accessible health care. In 2023, this group arranged a fundraiser at Panera Bread and a bake sale at Summit High School to support fundraising efforts and raise awareness in our community. During the Summer they planned, coordinated and ran activities at the Summit Community Pool for a summer opening pool party that was made accessible and free of charge to all Summit residents, and continue to plan this as an annual event. The YAC supports the Halloween Costume Boo-tique each year and works with community partners to work towards initiatives they care about.
