Providing community development opportunities and fostering relationships among all people looking for a better way to live!

Seeds of Grace has been active in High Ridge Estates since 2011, starting with Book Bus, then supporting Mission of the Dirt Road’s first steps, and now we’re ready to collaborate with the High Ridge Initiative to strengthen our neighborhood.

We’re Listening!

Seeds of Grace is currently surveying High Ridge residents to gather information that will be used to create a compelling impact story about our neighborhood, which we will share with potential partners as we grow our community coalition. Be on the lookout for volunteers who will be canvassing the area in search of survey participants. We need your input, neighbors! For more information or to arrange a specific time to participate in the survey in-person or virtually, please click below.

This project is supported by a Neighborhoods Grant from Community Foundation for Northeast Florida.
