This is Us
Grace’s Place is all about the kids. We exist to prevent child abuse and neglect – and all children are welcome in our homes.
Our facility is a state-licensed emergency shelter for children ages birth to 18 years old. Being licensed matters: we maintain the highest standards of care for the safety and well-being of children in need.
In the summer of 2022, we closed our Washington location and moved all operations to Union. We hope to reopen a Washington location in the future!

We provide care when families encounter any situation that could lead to loss of employment, loss of shelter, or a child’s basic needs going unmet – in addition to any situation that could potentially lead to a child being abused and/or neglected. Our services are always free.
Established as a non-profit 501(c)3 in December 2010, we opened our first location in Washington, Missouri, where up to six children, ages birth to 12-years-old, could receive 24/7 care for up to 30 days at a time.
Renovations to our Washington facility in 2017 allowed us to increase capacity to eight children and increased the maximum age for care to 18-years-old.
In the spring of 2021, we opened our second location, in Union, Missouri, where an additional six children, ages birth to 18-years-old, can receive 24/7 care for up to 30 days at a time.
Since opening our doors, Grace’s Place has provided care to over 1,000 children.
