Every year our friends come together in support of the boys and girls of Mercy Home through our Shamrocks for Kids Tag Days campaign. It’s a fun and easy way to be part of a solution for kids in crisis.
This year, we need you to help us make March the “Month of Mercy” during Shamrocks for Kids Tag Days. You can support our kids by volunteering to distribute Mercy Home shamrocks.
