Holiday Assistance
-
To apply for help for a Thanksgiving Food Basket Or Christmas Assistance you must apply with the Good Samaritan Network. All families that we assist are cleared through this agency so that we are not duplicating efforts already being accomplished by other groups.
The Merciful HELP Center helps with Thanksgiving ONLY. We accept families that registered through the Good Samaritan Network. Please register with them If you would like to request us, you may ask the GSN to assign you to the Merciful HELP Center for Thanksgiving if you would like.
We give a full turkey, all the fixings, lots of fresh produce, dairy, and toiletires. Call us if you have special requests!
