The Mercy Community & Sodexo Donate $1,500 to Hartford Shelter

The Mercy Community, West Hartford’s premier continuing care retirement community, together with Sodexo Health Care are pleased to announce the donation of $1,500 to St. Elizabeth House, a ministry of Mercy Housing & Shelter in Hartford. The Sodexo Health Care Facilities and Dining Team at The Mercy Community ran a special fundraiser at the recent Circle of Mercy Golf Outing to benefit the soup kitchen and shelter. 

“This helps us provide more nutritious food for our clients.  With the costs of food and delivery surcharges rising, we need support in order to be able to provide people with healthy and delicious meals. This is a significant gift and we hope that it will raise awareness of a critical need for our ministry and for those we serve,” said Sister Patricia McKeon, Executive Director at Mercy Housing & Shelter in Hartford.  

“We are very proud of and invested in our collaboration with St. Elizabeth House,” added Sister Maureen Reardon, Senior Vice President and Chief Mission and Compliance Officer for The Mercy Community.  “The work we do together to serve people in need is very meaningful to both our organizations.”
