Mercy Center for Women

Hope Begins With You

Thanks to the incredible generosity of our community, Erie Gives Day 2024 raised over $150,000 for the Mercy Center for Women. We are deeply grateful for the 534 donors who share our belief in empowering women, men, and children to build brighter futures.

We know we are part of a larger community of nonprofits doing vital work across Erie—and we’re honored to stand alongside them. As we look ahead, September 2025 marks another exciting chapter in our mission: the expansion of our campus through the purchase of the former Holy Rosary Rectory—now known as Brandy’s Corner. This new facility will provide housing for an additional 10 to 12 individuals, bringing our total capacity to 85 residents from all walks of life.

Your gift helps us provide more than just shelter—it offers hope, stability, and a path forward for families experiencing homelessness, survivors of domestic violence, and those recovering from addiction.

What We Provide:

• Safe, supportive transitional housing for homeless women, with or without children

• Permanent supportive housing for individuals and families experiencing homelessness

• Education, case management, and life-skills support services

• Connections to community partners and volunteers for long-term mentoring and guidance

• A nurturing environment rooted in spirituality, accountability, and ethical value

We invite you to stand with us this Erie Gives Day. Hope begins with you—and every gift changes a life.
