Merrick in a Time of Change:
Adapting and Evolving
Today, Merrick Community Services stands as one of the oldest nonprofit agencies in Ramsey County, with a history of assisting individuals and families transition from poverty and become self-sufficient and stable. The core programs of MCS are Employment & Career Services, Family & Community Services, Food Shelf, and Meals on Wheels
Merrick Community Services remains committed to breaking the cycle of multi-generational and concentrated poverty in our community. We will continue to work with others in challenging and advocating for systems change. But, to be successful, we all need to be pulling in the same direction – to bend toward justice.
