Grace & Mercy 3rd Annual Banquet & Graduation Celebration Story + Photography by Tony Centonze
Grace and Mercy recently held its 3rd Annual Banquet and Graduation Celebration at Hopkinsville’s James E. Bruce Convention Center. Laurel Ann McLagan began as a volunteer with the organization when she first arrived in the area. Now she is the manager of the new Grace and Mercy Furniture & More store. “Grace and Mercy is a faith-based residential transitional home for women who are coming out of incarceration or other difficult situations,” McLagan said. “We are proud to be helping women in the city of Hopkinsville as well as Christian and surrounding counties.” The group is totally supported by donations and has been operating since July 2015. More than 900 people were expected for this year’s event.
