Officials with the nonprofit Montrose Grace Place celebrated the completion of a beautification effort in June of its main operating space on Waugh Drive, including new murals and games.

The nonprofit partnered with professional services firm Deloitte to brighten up the space, which is also the fellowship hall at Kindred Church.

As part of Deloitte’s annual day of service, the company provided the necessary funding and crew for the beautification project, said Courtney Sellers, executive director of Montrose Grace Place, in an email to Community Impact.

Vibrant colors, artwork, memorials and games now adorn the walls of the fellowship hall, making the space feel more personal and fun, Sellers said.

“Our hope is that the brightened space continues to help the youth we serve feel welcomed and at home so we can foster valuable relationships,” Sellers said.


Since 2010, Montrose Grace Place has been serving youth of all genders and sexualities experiencing homelessness. At its youth nights every Monday and Thursday, volunteers with Montrose Grace Place create a safe space for youth and provide family-style dinners as well as access to technology and legal aid, among other services, according to the organization’s website.
