Through Pennsylvania’s Neighborhood Assistance Program (NAP), Wm. T. Spaeder recently made a contribution to the Mercy Center for Women's newest initiative, the Mercy Anchor Community Center West (MACC).
This project will transform the former Sacred Heart School into a vital community resource, featuring 20 new apartments, an onsite food pantry, and additional shared spaces. Once complete, the facility will support 30–40 individuals, helping address homelessness in Erie County.
Erika DePalma, Director of Advancement for the Mercy Center for Women, shared the following in light of our donation:
“This is incredibly generous! Jennie and I are so grateful for your support and wonderful partnership. Thank you for your commitment to helping make Sacred Heart (Mercy Center West) a strong community resource for individuals facing homelessness during some of their toughest life challenges.”
We’re proud to support a stronger Erie community! 💛
