MCW Receives $1.75M Anonymous Gift

Erie, PA – The Mercy Center for Women today announced a transformative $1.75 million gift from an anonymous

donor. This marks the largest single contribution in the Center’s history and will provide critical support for

families fleeing domestic abuse, homelessness, and addiction.

“We are incredibly grateful to this generous donor for their incredible generosity,” said Jennie Hagerty, Executive

Director of the Mercy Center for Women. “This gift will ensure long-term housing stability and sustainability for

the women, men, and children we serve.”

The Mercy Center for Women provides safe haven and supportive services to families in need. With this new

funding, the Center will be able to expand its campus life and its mission will continue to grow throughout the

Erie community.

“No words can define the true blessing our Christmas Angel has delivered to our families this season,” said

Hagerty. “Our gift in return will be to deliver a journey of warmth, love, safety, and transparency to our donor

and the Erie community.”

The Mercy Center for Women is committed to honoring the donor’s wish to remain anonymous. However, the

Center’s leadership expressed their deepest gratitude for this life-changing contribution.

“As 1 Timothy 6:20 reminds us, ‘Keep safe what has been entrusted to you,’” said Hagerty. “We take this

responsibility very seriously and are committed to using this gift wisely to make a lasting impact on the lives of

those we serve.”
