Mercy Center for Women

Thank You for a Record-Breaking Year — Join Us Again on August 11, 2026!

Because of the incredible generosity of our community, Erie Gives 2025 was a record-breaking success for Mercy Center for Women. A total of 573 donors came together to raise $198,626, providing life-changing support for the women, children, and families we serve. We are deeply grateful to everyone who made that impact possible.

This year, we invite you to be part of something just as transformative. Erie Gives 2026, held on August 11, will support our Sacred Heart/MACC West Project — a critical expansion of our mission designed to meet growing needs in our community.

The MACC West Project will create additional safe, stable housing for women and families, while expanding access to essential services like case management, education and job readiness programs, and basic needs support. As housing insecurity continues to impact more individuals and families, this project will allow us to serve more neighbors with dignity, compassion, and comprehensive care.

More than just a building, MACC West will be a place where lives are rebuilt — where women find support, children experience stability, and families begin again with hope for the future.

Join us on August 11, 2026, and help us continue building pathways to stability, opportunity, and lasting change.
