Reach for You Star
Good Shepherd Gracenter’s Gala Luncheon
September 22, 2024
The Gracenter Gala, on September 22, 2024, hosted beautiful stars glittering around the room, plenty of amazing auction items, stunning awards, friends connecting with each other, and delicious food! This year’s theme of “Reach for your Star” expresses how the support of Gracenter helps each woman find her own guiding star and reach for it in amazing and determined ways which will take her into a future of health, hope and helping others.
The Gala’s amazing honorees were the Portola Garden Tour, recipients of our Amazing Grace Award; Alex DeMarco, who received our award for most Valued Volunteer for this year, and, Gabriela Villareal, our Outstanding Graduate for this year!
It was a day to honor Gracenter’s program participants and graduates and all who have embarked on the difficult, but well worthwhile journey of sobriety, wholeness and giving back to the wider community.
Gracenter thanks each and every supporter for their contribution to the Gala and their invaluable support throughout the year so that each woman at Gracenter can reach for her personal star that will take her to a whole new universe of possibilities for her future!

A Woman's Recovery Begins with Grace
Good Shepherd Gracenter is a recovery residence that offers a supportive and gently challenging program for women who wish to strengthen their early sobriety. Typically, participants have completed a primary recovery program and are seeking to re-establish employment, healthy relationships, and deepen their spirituality through participation in 12 Step fellowships.
By strengthening women in recovery, they in turn strengthen their families and strong families create safe and peaceful communities.
Thank you for your support
