Our Mission for Education
About Our Back-to-School Drive
Every year, the House of Mercy hosts a Back to School Event, where underprivileged children in the community are able to come and pick out a brand-new back-pack and fill it with new school supplies! In order to serve as many children as possible, House of Mercy launches back-to-school drives to collect all the school supplies needed!
This initiative not only equips students with the tools they need to succeed academically but also ensures equal access to educational resources. In the past year alone, we’ve successfully distributed over 500 backpacks filled with supplies, all thanks to the generous contributions of our donors and volunteers. Now with your support, our goal is to serve over 600 children this year!
Empowering Students for a Better Tomorrow
Our mission is clear: to ensure that every child embarks on the school year fully equipped. By supporting our back-to-school initiative, you’re not just filling a backpack—you’re participating in the excitement for learning. Join us in making a difference in the lives of these young learners within our community.
