"If you take your little bit, and he takes his little bit and I take my little bit and put it all together: we come up with a pretty big bit."
"When we spend ourselves on behalf of the hungry and satisfy the needs of the oppressed, light rises in the darkness." : Isaiah 58:10
Planting seeds of change.
We believe in practical, hands-on support. Here is how we turn our core belief into tangible results every single day.
Community Support
Providing essential food, emergency aid, and resources to families both here and in Burkina Faso.
Youth Mentorship
Equipping the next generation with the skills, confidence, and faith-based guidance needed to build a bright future.
Empowerment
Connecting passionate volunteers with meaningful opportunities to serve, train, and rebuild communities.
Building hope across the globe.
From local food pantries to international communities like Burkina Faso, we partner with trusted leaders on the ground to equip people with skills, tools, and opportunity.
We do not believe in temporary handouts that disappear when the donor leaves. We believe in sustainable, generational change that takes root and grows on its own.

Why your little bit matters.
Charity is not just about the immediate relief: it is about the generational impact. When we combine our efforts, the benefits extend far beyond a single moment.
- Restored Dignity: Helping individuals stand back on their own two feet with pride and confidence.
- Stronger Communities: Fostering environments where neighbors look out for one another.
- Lasting Hope: Showing those in the darkest places that they are never truly alone.
From a back room to a lasting movement.
No one knew that day what this would become, or how crazy a ride it would be. Grain of Hope was born out of a simple belief that small acts of faith compound into lasting impact.
Read Our Full HistoryThe Humble Beginning
Grain of Hope started in a small room in the back of a church with youth pastor Chris Coakley and 19 students. We started with a commitment to raise support and hope for families in Burkina Faso.
Building Partnerships
As the mission expanded, we formalized our operational partnerships in West Africa, ensuring our work was stewarded by leaders on the ground who knew the community best.
Will you bring your little bit?
Through it all, we have never lost sight of where we came from. We still believe that incredible things happen when individuals unite their efforts. The little bit, big bit theory is not just a saying: it is the very foundation of how we operate, how we serve, and how we change lives.
