How Can I Help?Ending homelessness must be a community effort. We need you to spread the word to your friends and neighbors, your local officials, your employers, and state and federal representatives that homelessness can be ended if we make it our priority. Together, we can and we will end homelessness. DonateSupport the movement to end homelessness in Mercer County with a tax-deductible donation to the Mercer Alliance. It will cost much less to end homelessness than it will to continue paying for its consequences.
