Our mission
A Nonprofit Serving Memphis Families
Seasons of Grace is a nonprofit organization based in Memphis, Tennessee. We provide high-quality, community-integrated residential care, independent life-skills training, personal-development programs, and comprehensive supportive services for aging adults and members of the intellectual and developmental disability (IDD) community.
We are mission-funded, not profit-driven. Every program is paid for by donations, grants, partnerships, and community support, so placement is based on a family's income rather than their ability to pay. Assessments and first consultations are always free, and no one is turned away for asking a question.
Giving is received through our verified Live Give Mid-South page, and every dollar goes directly into care, housing support, life-skills training, and family services.
Dignified Care
Support shaped around the person — their routines, relationships, faith, and choices.
Independent Living Skills
Practical coaching that builds confidence and everyday capability at each person's pace.
Stronger Communities
Partnerships and advocacy that knit neighbors, families, and organizations into one circle of care.
Our purpose
Closing Gaps. Restoring Community.
Many lower-income families in Memphis neighborhoods, including South Memphis and Orange Mound, face overwhelming barriers when aging caregivers and loved ones with IDD need safe, specialized, affordable support. Seasons of Grace exists to help build a stronger network of care, protection, dignity, and opportunity.

The Story of One Patient · From Empty Land to Tall Tree
One man's season of grace — from a hospital bed to standing tall.
These real photographs, shared with us by a member of our community, show what a season of grace can look like when care, family, and faith walk alongside someone.
Season One
Bare ground: the hardest day
A hospital bed, oxygen, and uncertainty. Every journey through a season of grace begins with someone who needs others to stand beside them.
Season Two
A seed of hope
Still in a hospital gown and wheelchair, he holds a grandchild close. Family and love become the reason to keep going.
Season Three
Taking root
Walking with a cane and wearing his honor cord, he crosses the stage. Recovery is rarely a straight line — but it is possible with a village.
Season Four
Standing on his own
No cane, no chair. Upright and dressed with pride — strength returning one step at a time.
Season Five
Fully grown, among his people
Rose in hand at a family gathering, surrounded by the community that carried him. This is what we mean by enriching lives and honoring journeys.
Our founder
Meet Our Founder, La Tonya Anderson
La Tonya Anderson is a lifelong caregiver, advocate, and servant leader whose life reflects resilience, compassion, and faith. After experiencing paralysis from Cauda Equina Syndrome in 2022, she endured a profound personal recovery supported by her children, care team, faith, and determination. In February 2026, she took her first unaided step in nearly four years.
Her story is a testimony to community care, perseverance, and the grace that carries people through life's most difficult seasons.
“What God allowed to occur in my life in 2022 was not for me, but for others around me to see, witness, and understand how good God is—and how His grace and mercy continue to be sufficient.”Read La Tonya's Story
