MercyFirst is a not-for-profit human and social service agency that has been serving children and families in need since 1894. As a ministry of the Sisters of Mercy, they provide innovative treatments and life-changing interventions to address the emotional and physical needs of children and families in New York City, Brooklyn, Queens, Staten Island, and across Long Island. Their services include community-based prevention and family foster care, group homes for struggling children and families, and short-term residential services for unaccompanied migrant children.
Every day, MercyFirst helps at-risk individuals overcome enormous obstacles and re-imagine their futures, keeping at-risk children out of foster care, providing support for children with serious medical and mental health needs, and facilitating healing and reunification for foster care children. They also work towards finding permanent loving homes for foster youth through adoption.
