Mercer County Civic Foundation awards grant funds to Mercer Residential Services, Inc.
Mercer Residential Services (MRSI) has been awarded a $15,000 grant from the Mercer County Civic Foundation (MCCF) to be applied towards replacing the roof on MRSI’s Washington Street housing unit in Celina. In addition, MRSI received generous donations from Sam & Nita Hellwarth DAF & from an anonymous donor to pick up the remaining expense of the roof replacement. MRSI provides housing to individuals facing mental health challenges. Many of these individuals have a difficult time maintaining employment as well as securing housing. The apartment units come furnished and provide safe and affordable housing to tenants while also providing the individuals the opportunity to be a viable part of the community. We cannot express our humble gratitude enough for the funds we received. MRSI is very appreciative of everything the Mercer County Civic Foundation does to support everyone in Mercer County. MRSI is very appreciative of Sam and Nita Hellwarth DAF as well as for the anonymous donor for all the support provided to MRSI.
