Mercy Meals
What Is Mercy Meals?
Mercy Meals is a food distribution program which targets families in need of additional meal support. Keeping in line with the Mission and values of Mercy Neighborhood Ministries, we’ll strive to provide and treat our neighbors with kindness, dignity, and compassion while helping them meet needs and challenges they face daily.
Where Do We Distribute?
We will provide sustainable meals to families in the 19140 and 19144 Zip codes. Our initial goal is to provide approximately 700 meals a month to our Mercy Community. These families are identified as those that already participate in our current programming. (PreK students, aftercare programming, Senior Day program, and Adult education)
