Local Non-Profit Spotlight: Tides of Grace

Local Non-Profit Spotlight

With Tides of Grace now open in Centreville, we want to take a moment to share the heart behind this incredible nonprofit. Year after year, they’ve been a lifeline for struggling families and individuals in our community.

Below, Founder and Executive Director Leann Rhodes-Ickes shares their mission and how we can all come together to support or receive the care and services Tides of Grace so passionately provides.

Tides of Grace: Making a Difference in Our Community

At Tides of Grace, we believe in the power of community, compassion, and support. Our mission is to provide essential resources, outreach programs, and special events to uplift individuals and families in need. As a fully volunteer-based organization, we rely on the generosity of donors, sponsors, and volunteers to continue making a meaningful impact.

• Community Resource Center – A welcoming space for essential meetings, mental health awareness classes, NA meetings, self-care workshops, youth groups, and more.
