 Becky Shaffer is the founder and director of Saving Grace NWA.  She grew up in an abusive home and was taken from her mom at the young age of 12 and placed into the foster care system. From there Becky spent the next years in a children’s home but had to move out after graduating from high school. With no better idea of a place to go, she went to college.  During college, Becky met her husband Kent. As a young couple, they became foster parents at an Oklahoma group home that took in troubled teenage girls. During their ministry, they began to see a pattern—the girls were not ready to face life on their own as adults. 

 Saving Grace, was a dream that God planted in Becky’s heart, and is now a nonprofit known across Northwest Arkansas. With the mission to be a Christ-centered home offering hope and transformation to young women lacking critical supports, they provide relationships, skills, and resources to empower generational change. Saving Grace is located in the old convent in downtown Rogers and can serve up to 12 girls at a time. They each have their own room, which has been beautifully decorated by different individuals and organizations from the community.
