Founded in 1989, Our Lady of Mercy Community Outreach provides educational, health and direct outreach services to thousands of individuals and families each year in the Lowcountry. With the support of volunteers and donations, community members receive dental and pre-natal care, emergency food, clothing, financial and job assistance, lunch five days a week at Neighborhood House, and diverse educational and capacity-building opportunities such as youth programs, financial literacy, GED and ESL classes and more. The two locations include Johns Island on Brownswood Rd, serving the needs of residents in communities spanning West Ashley (outside 526) to Edisto Island and the Neighborhood House in Charleston that serves Eastside-area and West Ashley (inside 526) residents.
