Grace Place Shelter opened its doors to the community 16 years ago.
Grace Place has served as a temporary home for many families in St. Croix County needing emergency shelter and has served the community in its Somerset location to the best of its ability but in 2013, an increase of 47% has been noted and unfortunately more than 100 families had to be turned away, prompting the Grace Place crew to consider expanding to meet the community and space needs.
Through the good will and generosity of Presbyterian Homes, a multi-unit structure was offered as a donation to The Salvation Army, creating an opportunity to relocate Grace Place to New Richmond, and move forward with expanded rooms and services, including the ability to house up to 64 individuals.
