Making a lasting difference in Baltimore through food, care, and the love of Christ — since 2022.
OUR MISSION
Since June 2022, Mercy Court has been responding to the needs of the Baltimore community with compassion, consistency, and purpose. What began as a simple desire to extend God's love through service has grown into a thriving network of programs that address hunger, support families, and strengthen our neighborhood.
We exist to respond to community needs and create lasting change by fostering collaboration, equity, and empowerment. Guided by compassion and accountability, we work to ensure every effort not only meets immediate needs but also builds pathways toward long-term well-being and resilience.
We address physical and emotional needs, strengthen community bonds, and spread the gospel through outreach.
