About Mercy Home
Through our residential, aftercare, referral and community-based mentoring programs, we provide critical, life-saving services to more than 650 hurting and troubled young women and men every year.
At the core of these services is our full-time residential program, which provides around-the-clock care in a safe and stable home for 134 young people, ages 11 to 21. Here, children who have suffered abuse, neglect, poverty and abandonment are given the opportunity to rebuild their lives and the encouragement to realize their dreams. Through therapeutic, academic and vocational support, we help them grow into healthy adults who go on to pursue higher education, secure good jobs, and raise loving families of their own.
