Service & Caring Committee
Attention all Mercy Families! As part of the Mothers’ Club Service and Caring Committee, we have created a new ministry here at Mercy that supports our very own community. This is a community site to help coordinate meals, rides, or other support to families in crisis (illness, injury etc) at Mercy High School. You can sign up on the Lotsa Helping Hands website here.
When a need arises, you will be notified by email. You will not be assigned until you volunteer to accept. Please pass this site info on to the other parents and invite them to sign up!
If you know of a family in need, please encourage them to reach out to Janet Cronin at janetmatt555@gmail.com. We will only use the private website to share information with those that volunteer. Please consider helping in this ministry.
"Love cannot remain by itself-it has no meaning. Love has to be put into action, and that action is service." - Mother Teresa
