Donate
Your gift today will undoubtedly help neighbors who are living on low incomes and struggling to support their basic needs.
Why Give to Merced?
Your donation is an investment in their housing stability – it will put food on the table, make a home accessible, repair unsafe home conditions, engage older adults at risk of isolation and so much more.
Merced’s founding was built on a call to action to help individuals, families, and older adults maintain the safe, affordable and accessible housing that everyone deserves – regardless of income, regardless of geography.
How you can help
Your thoughtful donation can have the following impact:
can help restock our food and hygiene pantries to provide nutritious food and basic hygiene needs to cost-burdened families.
can help connect older adults and families to critical community resources such as rental, utility, and medical assistance.
can help with providing enrichment activities for children of single, head-of-household parents living in our affordable housing communities.
can provide engagement activities and opportunities to build networks of support for older adults at risk of social isolation.
can help provide critical home repairs for older adults and people living with disabilities.
