Help Us Serve The Parents & Kids That Need It Most
Since our founding, the Well of Mercy has served over 300 young mothers
and their children. By allowing women and their children up to five years in a safe, uplifting environment, The Well of Mercy offers single mothers the chance they need to begin the journey towards independence and the time they need to make permanent changes that will improve not only their lives but the lives of their children.
Celebrating The Annual Keeping The Dream Alive Gala
Reserve your tickets now for the annual Keeping the Dream Alive Gala on November 4.
Grateful For The Partners & People Who Support Us
Because The Well of Mercy does not receive government funding, we rely on the generosity of individuals, community and family foundations and corporate partners to fund our agency and our program. We are grateful to our current and past donors for their generosity.
