Humble Beginnings

Like a mustard seed—small, but full of potential—our story began in Los Angeles in 2008. A small group, united by big dreams, gave out 150 toys to children in need. That simple act of love sparked something greater.

The next year, a handful of ambassadors across the U.S. chose a day in June to serve their local communities at the same time. That day became the International Day of MERCY—a global day of service that continues to grow each year.

Today, we hold two major annual events that reach communities worldwide: the International Day of MERCY each June and the International Toy and Gift Giving Drive each Christmas.

Compassion Is Action

The word mercy comes from the Latin "merced," meaning "price paid." It conveys forgiveness, kindness, and compassion—the force that fuels our mission today.

MERCYworldwide isn't just an organization—it's a global movement. We believe love must be lived out, and MERCY exists to do just that. As 1 John 3:18 reminds us: "Let us not love with words or speech but with actions and in truth."

Every project, big or small, is rooted in the desire to bring hope, empowerment, and practical help to those who need it most.
