Overview  - Merrick Community Services operates two 25,000-square-foot community centers, two food shelves, and a job bank. It serves the people who live on the East Side by providing preschool and daycare, parenting classes, counseling services for adults, children and families, emergency assistance, holiday baskets of toys and food, meals on wheels, senior citizen transportation, income tax assistance, and community meeting space.

Vision - The partnerships we form enable MCS to touch more lives and allow us to provide programs and services tailored to individual and family needs.  We measure our success by the positive impact we have on the lives of people we serve.

Values - MCS has a strong physical presence within the community, welcoming and nurturing those in need.

MCS has a skilled, diverse team that effectively listens and responds to the community.

MCS celebrates the diversity of the East Side, welcoming all ages, cultures and languages.  For over 100 years, MCS has honored both the Settlement House tradition and the rich history of this community.  Though the faces and names have changed, the needs are essentially the same, and MCS continues to meet them.
