What Our Client’s Say About Us!
A Safe Place with Real Support. Community Grapevines goes beyond just services it feels like family. From the moment I walked in on a Momentum Monday, I felt welcomed and supported. They helped me connect with resources and build real confidence.

Finally, someone that actually cares.
I started coming to Wellness Wednesdays when I was overwhelmed and didn’t know where to turn. The conversations and mindful activities helped me find peace and direction. I’m so grateful for this space.

Empowering and Encouraging
The team at Community Grapevines is so encouraging. They connected me with programs I didn’t even know existed, and the volunteers are always kind and professional. I feel stronger because of them.

What I appreciate most is how they take time to listen not just talk at you. I came in unsure of what I needed, and they helped me find the right support without judgment.
