Mission statement
MasterKey Ministries of Grayson County, Inc. was formed to address the struggles of families with limited resources. We have designed a three prong approach to poverty and have made an incredible difference in Grayson County.
First, What can we do TODAY? - Food assistance to address the hunger and food insecurity issues that are common in poverty.
Second, What can we do for a better TOMORROW? - Educational opportunities for children and adults that target the root of poverty by filling in learning gaps.
Third, What can we do FOREVER? - Wrapping all that we do with the love of Jesus and finding ways to communicate that God cares for each one of us
