Mercy value of service in action! Over the past couple weeks, Julia Rea '22 led some service projects for National Honor Society and Youth Mercy Associates. NHS members went to PB & J Outreach at Our Lady of Good Counsel to assemble food and hygiene supplies to be distributed to the homeless in Detroit. They also made Easter activity baskets for residents at Angels’ Place, an organization that provides homes for persons with developmental disabilities. YMA's went to Saint John's in Detroit to distribute food and clothes directly to the homeless.
