Jacksonville Based Nonprofit Sponsored by Grace Pursues Additional Funding to Open New Headquarters by Q4 2020

Jacksonville, Fla., Feb. 12, 2020 – Sponsored by Grace founder Ron Armstrong seeks funding  to renovate SBG’s new headquarters by the close of 2020. The new headquarters will be located across the street from the Vista Landing apartments, and it will give SBG a permanent foothold in the apartments and, more importantly, the 32209 zip code as a whole.

Sponsored by Grace focuses their efforts in the Vista Landing apartments to provide sponsorship for the underprivileged children living there as well as to support the community as a whole. SBG’s works every day to ensure that they’re doing their part to turn the “worst zip code in Jacksonville… into the most hopeful zip code,” said founder Ron Armstrong.

SBG currently sponsors nine children living in the Vista Landing apartments but will open  up sponsorship for another nine after funding is secured for renovations, according to Armstrong.

While community involvement is a key component of Sponsored by Grace’s mission to empower the Vista Landing community, the organization relies solely on charitable donations to supplement its endeavors in the community. Sponsoring one of SBG’s children only costs $56 a month. That $56 provides the child with school uniforms, a hot meal once a week, four trips a year to locations outside the community and transportation to church and Empowerment and skills classes.

About Sponsored by Grace

SBG is a completely unique organization in that it attempts to fight the cycle of poverty at a local level instead of in another country. Poverty and starvation occur right here in Jacksonville, and if you can contribute as little as $56 a day then you could help better the life of a child struggling to survive in your own city. Sponsored by Grace seeks to release children from poverty in Jacksonville  by meeting their physical needs, sharing the gospel, and connecting them with a local faith family.
