1990 – Mercy Center was founded
Founded in 1990, Mercy Center has grown from a volunteer counseling service operating out of a single classroom located in a Mott Haven school into a respected, community-based resource offering comprehensive, holistic services and programs that support our participants’ efforts to improve their lives.

We incorporated in 1995 and received 501(c)(3) tax exempt status in 1996.

In 2003 we constructed a two story building on East 145th Street to house our growing organization.
2015 – A new location
In 2015, with demand for our services increasing, we expanded to include a second location nearby on East 149th Street.
