HOUSE OF MERCY

In1985, Sister Grace Miller could see that homelessness was a big problem in Rochester, N.Y. And there weren't enough shelters to meet the need. So she went to work. And with help from the Sisters of Mercy, she opened a shelter in a small house on Central Park just north of downtown Rochester. 

The House of Mercy now provides a wide range of valuable services to more than 4,000 people a month. Its unique and compassionate approach to assistance has attracted a growing number of supporters throughout the community.

I consider that the operation of this home has big expenses in the amount of people who house them, and their budgets are low. They are the hope of many who are homeless.
