MARY'S MERCY CENTER, INC.: MEANING AND MISSION

Mary's Mercy Center, Inc. is a public non-profit organization which is committed to serve all races, creeds and conditions of life, and extending unconditional love, acceptance, and respect to all who come for assistance. Networking with Local agencies has empowered Mary's Mercy center to reach out to the poor and powerless of society and help people grow into useful, affirmed people in today's world. Restoring dignity to the poor and marginalized, we serve the young, the old and the mentally and physically challenged.

MARY'S MERCY CENTER began its services in September of 1987 with a congregate feeding program called Mary's Table. Mary's Mercy Center, Inc. received its own non-profit status in the state of California and has remained in continual good standing. Currently, the organization is staffed with approximately 300 volunteers, 12 full-time employees, and 9 part time employees. The organization retains and is governed by a thirteen member Board of Director, which meets every other month.

In 1995 Mary's Mercy Center, Inc. opened Veronica's Home of Mercy, a Catholic/Christian long-term transitional home targeting adult pregnant women and their children, 0-7 years of age at time of entry, as an alternative to domestic violence, abortion, substance abuse, and/or homelessness. Between the years of 2002 and 2007, Mary's Mercy Center, Inc. raised funds for an expansion of Veronica's Home of Mercy. Ground-breaking took place September 12, 2007. The new Veronica's Home of Mercy II, an 80-bed modern facility, opened late 2009. The recently renovated Veronica's Home of Mercy I is a 40-bed home. Together these homes offer the residents a comprehensive and individualized program.

Casa Merced I (translated: Home of Mercy), acquired in July of 1999, Casa Merced II, acquired in May of 2006, and Casa Merced III, opened in June 2011, are low income re-entry single family dwellings. These homes are an extension of the program offered to the residents at Veronica's Home of Mercy.
