ABOUT US
How we started
The Mercy Tree began out of an idea a little girl named Mercy had when she was just 8 years old.
Mercy saw the felt need of children her age and she wanted to do something to help other kids like her have gifts under the tree to open on Christmas Day.
And so began The Mercy Tree...
What we do
Initially when we started in 2010, we collected gifts for children of all ages and had them wrapped for delivery to Belcon House at the Salvation Army in downtown Vancouver.
Since then we have grown our gift giving to beyond just Christmas and have a Back-to-School Grocery Fundraiser at the end of each summer.
Where we serve
We are actively involved with Sheway on the Downtown East Side of Vancouver. They are an organization funded by Aboriginal Health and Vancouver Coastal Health.
Our team of volunteers provide personnel for events hosted by Sheway such as Welcoming/Naming Ceremony’s, Christmas Luncheons and other events throughout the year
