Thanks to our supporters!
We are very grateful for the generosity of the individuals, groups, businesses, foundations, and friends that partner with us to provide education, family, civic, social, and economic programs to the residents of the Mott Haven section of the South Bronx. Together, we’re making a difference in the lives of the women, men and families that reside in our community.
💛 Happy International Kindness Day! 💛
Kindness in action. Lives touched. Thank you to our generous donors and friends for making a meaningful difference in the lives of Mercy Center families. Last Thanksgiving, your support helped nearly 500 families gather around the table with their loved ones to enjoy a special meal.
Together, we make kindness count—today and every day! 💛
