Family Table is a program that helps local families who have some difficulties with their monthly food supplies.
Parishioners at Our Lady of Mercy are always generous providing for our food pantry. Through volunteers at the parish, the food is distributed among the families who have requested assistance.
Food donations requested for this program are non-perishable items. For Thanksgiving and Christmas holiday, the parishioners make a special effort to provide the pantry with items appropriate to the event.
