GUIDING PRINCIPLES

• Mercy is manifested by trying to relieve the suffering of others. (St. Faustina)
• The life and dignity of every person must be respected and protected. (Pope Benedict)
• We seek to define the causes of poverty and to provide concrete answers, with formation of persons and communities as a priority. (Pope Benedict)

House of Mercy is a Catholic 501(c)(3) nonprofit whose mission is to create environments where God’s mercy flourishes by meeting basic needs and supporting personal and spiritual growth. Founded in 2005 by a Catholic priest, we serve some of the most underserved populations by feeding, clothing, and praying for anyone who comes through our doors. Through our Thrift Store, Donation Center, and Food Pantry, we offer free food and clothing with no restrictions on geography or background — always with a focus on preserving dignity and serving the whole person.
