NATCHEZ — The owner of a home and healthcare staffing agency celebrated a long-awaited grand opening and ribbon cutting last week.
God Sent owner and founder Joyce Hargrave said she moved into the building that is now God Sent Home Care Staffing Agency and Caring Angel’s Uniforms & Medical Supplies at 108 Liberty Road in October 2020.
However, the grand opening was postponed to Saturday due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The company offers CPR training and medical personnel assistance. Caring Angel’s, a new store next door, has a store filled with medical supplies and medical accessories as well as inspirational faith-based messages and decorations.
His grand opening celebration comes weeks after Hargrave’s random act of kindness went viral on social media. In December, she paid for Christmas gifts and merchandise for a family in the Walmart queue in Canton, Texas, as their credit card kept running low. Unbeknownst to her, a man who witnessed the act followed her to her car and took a photo of her Adams County car tag with the letters “GOD SNT” written on it and the posted on social media.
Mayor Dan Gibson presented Hargrave with a proclamation of appreciation not only for his business, but also for his kindness that shone a positive light on Natchez and Adams County.
Hargrave’s business venture started as a home care service in 2018 before becoming a recruitment agency for hospitals, nursing homes and other healthcare providers in the area.
Hargrave said she found jobs for more than 200 CNAs, 100 LPNs and about 60 RNs in Mississippi and Louisiana and was cleared to work in Texas.
“But I strongly believe in taking care of the home first,” she added.
During Saturday’s celebration, those who know Hargrave spoke of his devotion to God and his hard work, overcoming many life challenges to complete the project.
“All the glory goes to God,” Hargrave said. “We save lives even while I’m sleeping. It’s the most humiliating thing. I can say thank God for allowing us to make a difference in this community and create jobs.
