Capital Campaign

Mercy Neighborhood Ministries’ Capital Campaign is raising $8 million to renovate a once-deteriorated warehouse into a beautiful and dynamic community center—Mercy Family Center. The 33,000-square-foot building, which it owns, will enable the ministry to house all of its programs under one roof and will be fully handicapped accessible.

Mercy Family Center: Transforming Lives,
One Person at a Time

Mercy Family Center will enable Mercy Neighborhood Ministries to expand its educational and care services to meet the growing critical needs of the community. The ministry is the only social service provider in Tioga—a section of North Philadelphia that has been increasingly neglected for decades—and the demands for its services has increased significantly. When Mercy Family Center opens it doors, the capacity for each program will increase considerably.

"I've known Sister Ann for most of my adult life and anywhere she places her focus it's a success. It must be because her focus is always helping others less fortunate than us. It's my honor to help with this great cause." - Pat Croce, Honorary Member, Mercy Family Center Steering Committee www.patcroce.com

The dream of creating Mercy Family Center can only happen with your financial help! Make a donation today toward the renovation and creation of this new community center.

Give the Gift of Mercy this Holiday Season

Mercy Family Center will help us:

• Increase the capacity of licensed childcare programs, in Tioga, from 42 children to 80 children.
• Help the programs become self-sustaining.
• Increase the capacity of the adult day care program from 30 to 60 adults.
• Reduce the annual cost of utilities by about 25 percent by building “green.”
• Provide a permanent home for Mercy Neighborhood Ministries.
• Improve the economic stability of the neighborhood.
• Enhance the academic achievements of children.

A unique facility, Mercy Family Center, located at 1939 W. Venango Street, will follow the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) protocols of the U.S. Green Building Council to become the first “green” building in North Philadelphia. “Green” buildings:

• Have less impact on the environment.
• Save natural resources.
• Utilize natural lighting.
• Recycle building and construction waste, where possible.
• Take advantage of highly efficient HVAC systems.
• Can provide health benefits for people with asthma and other chronic breathing problems.
