How You Can Help

One Person Can Make A Difference
It is possible to do something about the problems of homelessness. At Mercy Housing and Shelter, it is our mission as counselors, educators, administrators, to help those in need. We do this by helping them get what they need through their own accomplishments. Key to this are the core values of respect, compassion and responsibility.

Contributions or donations of goods and materials are always gratefully accepted. For further information, contact Sheila Casey at (860) 808-2105.
