ROCHESTER, N.Y. — The House of Mercy, along with News10NBC, worked together on Friday for the Big Give drive at Innovative Field to serve those in need. Thank you all for an amazing turnout!
The drive managed to fill up five vans full of groceries.
The volunteers at the House of Mercy haven’t even found enough space for all the donations yet. Multiple pantries are housing the canned goods alone. It had room for all the perishable food in it’s freezer and fridges, too. It’s taking days to find space for all the rest.
Big Give, big impact
News10NBC’s Erin Mahon stopped by the House of Mercy on Monday and asked how long the food might last, but volunteers weren’t sure, as they didn’t have an exact count or measure of everything yet. They did note that they’re considering adding another day of the week where their community pantry opens. They’ve not yet confirmed which day. Mainly, House of Mercy expressed its gratitude and surprise at Friday’s turnout.
“It was just wonderful. It was wonderful. And it’s so good to know that there’s people that’s caring about people that’s unfortunate not to have anything,” said Michael Carter, kitchen staff member.
The House of Mercy serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner to those who stay here while looking for full-time housing. It also serves snacks throughout the day. The shelter has 76 permanent beds and up to about 100 during extreme cold, so there’s no such thing as having “too much food.” This, they said, was a blessing.
