What Your Gift Supports
When you give to Mercy Learning Center, you help women build confidence, advance their skills, find stability, and recognize their full potential, and you show children the joy of learning, the power of friendships, and infinite possibilities for the future. Here women and children find dignity, connection, and transformation. Your belief in the power of education and empowerment makes this possible.
Other Ways To Donate
Our wraparound approach to adult education makes it possible for our students to progress while dealing with extraordinary life challenges they may face. Education empowers our students to transform their lives. When they are supported in achieving their goals, anything is possible!

Scholarship Support
College is a tremendous opportunity for the women who graduate from MLC, but it can also be a significant financial hardship. MLC provides scholarship funding to qualified graduates to ensure that they can continue on their educational path. You can help a woman achieve her dream of attending college by donating to our Women of Achievement Scholarship Fund. Call us at 203-334-6699 to learn more.
