Prizes are awarded. Members are asked to donate small items like jewelry, perfumes, fancy soaps, scarves, etc. to be given as prizes.

Crop Walk - Grace, an originating force behind this annual 10K walk sponsored by Mendham Interchurch, has many members committed to this mid-October event. Individuals may walk or sponsor a walker. The pledged money is then donated to local and worldwide hunger needs.

Faith Soup Kitchen - Members provide soup once a month for a soup kitchen run by Trinity Lutheran Church in Dover. There are proper size containers and the recipe is available in the basement by the freezer. The soup is delivered the third Wednesday of each month, but may be brought to Grace at any time and placed in the downstairs freezer.
