We’re so glad the lunches from today’s outing could go to a great organization doing wonderful work for our community!

The Erie Women’s Fund golf outing was cancelled on (2) Mondays due to weather. They generously shared the boxed lunches from the outing with the Mercy Center for Women, Mercy Anchor Community Center, Brandy’s Corner, and food pantry neighbors!

One beautiful way the community embraces the 85 individuals living on the Mercy Center Eastside campus. We are grateful to EWF for their generosity to pay it "fore"ward to deserving families.
