Tender Mercies

We prepare and serve a Sunday dinner for 50+ people in Over-the-Rhine each month.

Sign-ups to donate are held on the second Sunday of the month; the meal is served on the third Sunday.

Tender Mercies in Over the Rhine provides housing and individualized supportive services to homeless persons with histories of mental illness. Tender Mercies has a goal that residents are provided with at least one meal a day. Residents do not have the facilities to cook in their rooms, and depend upon volunteer organizations to bring in meals each day. A group which volunteers to bring in a meal to one of the buildings prepares the meal and provides all of the items required to serve it (paper plates, cups, napkins) in a buffet line in the common area of the residence.

Time committment:  3 hours per month

Meeting times:  3rd Sunday of the month
