Mission Statement
Inspired by the vision of the Sisters of Mercy, we promote the empowerment of individuals with a special focus on disadvantaged women and seniors through proven programs that educate; foster self-sufficiency and support enhanced quality of life.
About This Cause
Mercy Neighborhood Ministries excels at stabilizing and improving the quality of life for those living in disadvantaged circumstances. We employ a unique approach to workforce development and aging population assistance. Our holistic efforts help seniors and those less educated become more stable and independent. We experience strong support for our mission and a respected position in the community due to fostering relationships with our partners, sponsors, donors and volunteers. Our Goals and Objectives: 1. Individuals progress toward attaining self-sufficiency through education, training and/or employment. 2. Seniors remain living independently in the community for as long as possible through our senior and home care services. 3. Program participants experience increased stability and wellbeing through the client advocacy and supportive services we offer. 4. Mercy Neighborhood Ministries experiences greater community engagement and support through awareness of our effective programs.
