Mentoring is a journey, one you don't have to travel alone

The staff at Mercy Street would like to invite you to Fuel for Your Journey: 2009 Mentor Training from 9 to noon Saturday, July 11.  Our approach is to answer the 10 questions we most often hear mentors asking. MORE

Hope in The City

Working in the inner city one can easily become overwhelmed by all of the things that seem wrong. The difference with community development organizations like Mercy Street is that we try to build upon assets in a community. MORE

Partner Spotlight: Brother Bill's Helping Hand

At Mercy Street we believe in partnering with other organizations in an effort to come alongside our mentee's and their families. In an effort to help Mercy Street mentors to know about resources in West Dallas we will occasionally highlight West Dallas Partners. This month we are highlighting Brother Bill's Helping Hand. MORE

Thank you DonorBridge Contributors

A special thank you to those who donated on to Mercy Street on May 20 through the Communities Foundation and the Dallas Foundation on Dallas' Day of Giving. Because of you Mercy Street was named one of the top 10 recipients, although the total amounts won't be known until around June 15. (We will gladly report back to you when we find out how much of our gifts were matched.)

"Giving Day" was a big success for Mercy Street, but the slow economy still presents a challenge to us. We can always use your on-going support. THANK YOU!
