Mercy Home is a Lifeline

Support youth and families determined to break free from abuse and poverty.

Campaign Section

We believe that every young person deserves the opportunity to build brighter futures for themselves.

Since 1887, Mercy Home has offered shelter, guidance, resources, and care to tens of thousands of youth and their families.

Your donation supports our nurturing, holistic approach to promoting youth development and wellbeing, while offering therapy and guidance to families seeking to heal from trauma and repair relationships.

When it comes to uplifting the future of young people and their families in Chicago, we all share a common thread: Mercy Home.

Your Gift Means the World to Kids at Mercy Home

Care. Connection. Community

A true home is more than just food and shelter. A home offers us love, laughter, and belonging. A home promises nurturing and growth. A home is where we are seen and heard.

Mercy Home provides compassionate, ongoing support to at-risk youth.

We Are Not All the Same, but We Share a Common Mission.

At Mercy Home, we want all who walk through our doors to feel seen, valued, and included. We recognize that some of our community members are disproportionately affected by social and systemic injustices.
