    OUR MISSION - SHARING BLESSINGS FROM THE HEART

    The mission of Our Lady of Mercy Community Outreach Services is to provide educational, health and outreach services to the people in need on James, Johns and Wadmalaw Islands, and at the Neighborhood House of Charleston, while encouraging and supporting self-sufficiency and self-esteem.

    EDUCATION HEALTH & WELLNESS OUTREACH SERVICES

    OLM Outreach has developed a series of educational efforts offering a variety of programs including parenting and budgeting sessions.

    After school homework assistance and a three-week summer enrichment program offer a helping hand to school-aged children.  English as a Second Language and general literacy classes are offered on an on-going schedule. (more)

    Residents of the Islands have limited access to a complete array of health services, especially prenatal care and dental care.  Also, there is little opportunity to receive preventive care or wellness education.

    The Wellness House has two main components.  One is the women's health program and the other is dental health and hygiene services.  (more) 

    Through interviews and assessments, emergency services and home visits are offered by the Outreach staff.

    Distributing food, clothing, financial support, and household items are part of the daily tasks. Seasonal farm workers' needs are served by providing emergency services, health outreach and advocacy. (more)
