One of our Happy Seniors!

 

 Merrick’s Spring Clean Up was held the week of May 15th with two groups tackling the yards of some very grateful Seniors on the East Side, Ramsey and Washington County.  The rain was looming but our volunteers came prepared for anything!  Teams went out in small groups, raking leaves, picking up branches, cutting lawns, pulling down overgrown vines and clearing out flowerbeds.  

Thank you to 3M, community members and the Twin Cities Ilinni Club.   

Thank you for your support

MCS also thanks our sponsors for their generous support of our work

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.
