United Way Designated Funding If your employer encourages or requires participation in the United Way campaign, you can designate your gift for Mercy Ministries. Look for a “donor option” line on your giving campaign form and write in “Mercy Ministries.” You may need to include our address: PO Box 111060, Nashville, TN 37222-1060. Most local United Way programs allow donors to specify a charity other than one from their list of participants. We will receive a donation on behalf of you through your local United Way chapter.

Product Donations If you have something specific you would like to offer the residents, please let us know. For example, we have a group of hair stylists that come to Mercy to donate haircuts. Retailers have donated cooking classes, movie tickets, or other activities for the residents. These opportunities are limited due to the very busy schedule of the residents because while they are here in the program, their focus must be on their counseling and classes.
Individuals may also donate the following products and materials from their own resources or from a product “drive.” All donated items are stored in our “Blessings Closet”, so that girls with little or no monetary support may have access to items that they need on a daily basis:
- Toiletries (examples: soap, shampoo, conditioner, lotion, deodorant, face scrubs)Clothes and shoes (all sizes)*
- Styling equipment (examples: straighteners, curling irons, blow dryers, new brushes)
- Craft and art supplies (examples: scrapbooking materials, construction paper, stationary)
- Cars (for our local graduates)
- Baby Items
* Due to young age of most of our residents, clothes that are current and youthful are appreciated.
