Support Us
The Annual Fund provides critical financial support for every aspect of Mercy Center's programs. Every donation helps sustain our free Adult Education/Workforce Development Programs, Family and Youth Programs, Social Services, and Immigration Services.
The support which you offer through your annual gift makes it possible for us to bridge the gap between the revenues received from government grants, foundation and corporate support, and the actual cost of providing quality services for each family. We greatly appreciate the commitment you make to our participants.
In the tradition of the Sisters of Mercy, Mercy Center helps women and their families in the South Bronx recognize the power they have to liberate themselves from economic poverty. We promote their right to an improved quality of life by addressing the needs of the whole person, development skills for healthy family living and economic advancement, and building a community of respect, hospitality, and non-violence.
We hope that you continue to believe in our work by supporting the Annual Fund.
Thank you!
