We hear everyday how well the economy is doing and the tax breaks are helping Americans. My wife and I got a wake up call recently when we stopped by Grace marketplace to drop off a few clothing items. We witnessed hundreds of Americans, women, children and men living in tents and basically living hand to mouth with little or nothing. As a 77 year old American having served 22 years in the military, I was embarrassed to see the condition these Americans were experiencing in our country. Heartbreaking is an understatement and some of individuals were obviously veterans too.

Leon and Eric are amazing and actually help, but the place is horrible conditions, food is ok, only problem is if people are causing you problems or threatening you they don't do anything about it , a staff member watched a person threatening us and just watched and laughed very unprofessional and some were rude

I’ve had poor people tell me angrily how awful and dangerous Grace Marketplace is. How true is what they’re saying? Are people really murdered there? How can I calm someone down who doesn’t even have to stay there, but who explodes at the name?

I've have lived out there and most of the staff is there to help most are for a pay check. It's really not safe at all. The restrooms are very unsanitary to shower or sit on the toilet. I was scared of catching a disease from it being so nasty. The bed area is also nasty I had to beg for them to clean the ceiling fan. Until they run the facility better I don't think it's a place for someone who has fallen in life and trying to get back on there feet. It's made for sexual predators and people on drugs. There is no helping people that already working and need help. My personal experience

D Bland | Sep 12, 2018

As far as I know and have heard there are no hoops to jump. Just someone who needs help. You may have to stay outside if they are full, so be prepared... There is food there too for those who need it. It was established to help the homeless and jobless of the community.

I have a friend who's coming out of the fwrc prison system at the end of May and is homeless has nowhere to go is she able to come there until she can get on her feet?

Tamara Kendricks | Sep 12, 2019
Tamara Kendricks | Sep 12, 2019

Thank you for answering my question Dustin p. My next question would be how do we go about getting her there do you pick them up from the prison system do they have to get a ride to you? Also every time I've tried calling up there it doesn't matter what services ask for I keep getting answering message machines but no one's ever calling me back. I leave my phone number my name and again I don't get any calls back. So do you have someone specific that I can call and a name that someone I can talk to in reference to helping this young lady out because the time is running down. Thank you. Also how would I get her from the prison system to you all? Myself I'm on disability on a walker and I'm not driving right now so I can't do it do you have someone that can help her to get there?

How do I get help for clothing, food, housing assistance and an id. I'm currently 8 months pregnant and very in need of assistance anything will help.

MommyOf3 | Sep 12, 2019
Pat Anderson | Sep 12, 2019

Go to Grace marketplace and do a intake. Get yourself into the system and then ADVOCATE for yourself and that baby. They will help you with clothing, food assistance, housing and an ID. Also Trinity Methodist Church downtown help on Tuesdays get an ID card. The main thing is that you have to ask all the questions and do most of the work yourself but as long as you're willing to work and get it done they're there to help! You have to advocate for yourself!

Margaret Osborne | Sep 12, 2019
scott kirkwood | Sep 12, 2019

Yes, it's easy to find, right off 39th Ave. Here's the link to their website; http://www.gracemarketplace.org/. They are a real good organization and have free laundry, regular meals, free showers, a clothes bank, and the city bus picks up a block down the road. Here's the link to the bus website; https://go-rts.com/ They will help you with employment as they are part of the community. The best part is that the University of Florida provides a health clinic there on Fridays at no charge. There's a woman's respite area that's exclusively for women. There's more, but you'll see! They have job fairs that local businesses come looking to find help and with the intention to be help.

Shakeria Long | Sep 12, 2019

Well first of all hun oh, they don't take children at all. Second of all it is highly gang infested drug-infested and very violent. I do not recommend it especially for families. If it's just you and your child, you can possibly stay or even if you have the child's father Google St Francis House they may be able to help you
