Grace On Wheels is a mobile, non-medical outreach program serving women and families experiencing homelessness or housing instability in Bend, Redmond, La Pine, and Prineville, Oregon. We bring practical support directly to the community, helping families navigate paperwork, appointments, and systems so they can move toward stability and independence.

We primarily serve:

• women experiencing homelessness

• single mothers and pregnant women

• families living in cars, motels, or unstable housing

• women impacted by domestic violence

• children and youth experiencing housing disruption

Our focus is on dignity, safety, and walking beside families at their pace.

Grace On Wheels helps with the practical barriers that often keep families stuck, including:

• replacing IDs and DMV paperwork

• obtaining birth certificates and vital records

• court date reminders and navigation support

• school enrollment and transportation coordination

• SNAP, OHP, and benefit applications

• email, phone, and appointment setup

• résumés, job applications, and interview preparation

• warm referrals to trusted community resources

We are non-medical and do not provide clinical or emergency services.

No. Grace On Wheels does not provide housing or shelter directly.
However, we help families navigate housing applications, documentation requirements, and referrals, and we work alongside shelters, housing providers, and community partners.

We meet families in safe, neutral community locations, such as:

• partner sites

• churches

• libraries

• shelters

• community centers

Exact locations and schedules are shared through partners or by contacting us directly.

It reflects our belief that grace isn’t distant or abstract — it shows up, moves toward people, and walks with them. Sometimes, grace simply needs wheels.
