Ways to Serve With Us
Mercy Nights
Twice a month on Friday evenings, we invite others to join us as we bring hot soup out to those living on the streets. The soup is an excuse for a conversation, as we try to get to know those whom we serve. There is no commitment beyond the individual Mercy Night. Interested? Sign up to be added to the email list by emailing mercymission@stmichaelportland.org.

Lunch by the Water
Every Thursday and Friday, all year round, we serve a hot lunch to our friends under the west side of the Hawthorne Bridge at 12:30 p.m. Join us for prayer and lunch service and conversation with our friends. If it’s your first time, email Danielle at worksofmercy@stmichaelportland.org to let her know you’re coming.
Current Donation Needs
Please drop off donations in the bins located by the bathrooms in Balestra Hall. The following items are always appreciated by our friends on the street:
Food: Pre-packaged snacks, such as chips, goldfish, cookies.
Clothing: NEW socks (please no used socks), hand warmers and gloves.
Donate: our programs depend on volunteer support, prayer and funding. If you are moved to financially support St. Michael’s Works of Mercy, please do so by selecting the “Works of Mercy Ministry” option.
Gift cards of any amount to Winco, Costco or any gas station for the Mercy Missionaries are also welcomed!
