Press Release: United Federal Credit Union Partners to Bring “Grace” Home

Centerton, Arkansas (July 20, 2023) — United Federal Credit Union donates toward expansion at Grace Farms.

In 2021, United Federal Credit Union (United) generously committed to giving Saving Grace $25,000 over four years in support of Saving Grace’s expansion to Grace Farms.

“The work Saving Grace does in our community is so important and United is proud to offer our continued support. With the expansion of Grace Farms, not only will they be able to help house more young women, but they’ll be able to offer more therapy resources including the equine center. We know our donation toward the equine center plays just a small role in the wonderful work Saving Grace is going to be able to accomplish in the coming years,” said Stephanie Riffle, United Regional Vice President.

According to Becky Shaffer, Saving Grace Founder & Executive Director, “United has offered support for ‘Grace’ through financial giving and volunteerism since 2019, through Stephanie Riffle and her team. They continue to show up for girls they’ve never even met, working with us to bring ‘Grace’ home—TOGETHER!

United’s generous sponsorship funded the covered arena and will provide “Grace” with the opportunity to heal through equine-assisted therapy. If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go UNITED.”

Saving Grace serves young women ages 18-25 who have aged out of foster care or are facing homelessness. Saving Grace provides safe housing in a dorm-style setting and offers each young woman educational assistance, career guidance, coaching, counseling, and more.
