We strive to provide
a safe and empowering environment for children and young adults to grow and develop.
Our story starts with one person's heart for her community...
Mercy Arredondo, a lifelong resident of Cashion, partnered with Cornerstone Christian Center to establish the Mercy House and address the community's needs. Her goal was to reduce truancy and delinquency rates that prevented children from completing their primary education. Mercy understood that the future of the community depended on these young people, who were wasting their chances for success by dropping out of school and setting themselves on a path that could lead to incarceration or worse.
Our Volunteers
The Mercy House Community Center run entirely by volunteers, who tirelessly dedicate their time and efforts to serve the local community. Their dedicated team works tirelessly to make a positive impact on the lives of the individuals and families they serve, embodying the spirit of compassion and community service.
Our Story...
The Mercy House has served as a safe environment “Oasis” for thousands of children who needed after-school, help with homework and mentorship/guidance for life issues. For the last 29 years, the Mercy House has offered a number of programs to help change the life trajectory of at-risk youth in Avondale.
