More Than a place to stay
Our professional staff meet one on one at least weekly with the clients and their children.
In addition, one evening per week, MERCY hosts various speakers, activities, demonstrations, videos, educators and community volunteers to provide small life skill sessions centered on the pillars of self-sufficiency: housing, parenting, budgeting and life skills.
Children also are provided with counseling, as needed, with emphasis on educational achievements. We are thankful for your support!
