ABOUT US
Marcy’s Project began in the fall of 2019 when we met Marcy, an 80-year-old woman caring for a family in O’Fallon, MO. She was about to move to Texas, so we volunteered to take over helping this family. When we asked what they needed a few things stuck out.
First, she said not to “judge.” What is someone else’s “norm” may not be our own. Second, she said, “I bet you have a lot of friends and connections that could help!” This is true. We are surrounded by passionate, talented, and giving people. Many of which want to help, but do not know how.
This family taught us so many things about “need.” They made us think, “how many others are out there that need help?” Then COVID-19 hit. We reached out to local nursing homes and school districts to see how we could help. The response was overwhelming. We were able to raise over $7000 to help the Meal Assistance Program in the Francis Howell School District, hand sanitizer and PPE in local nursing homes, and “thank you” treat trays to those nursing home staff and volunteers.
Because of Marcy’s kindness, Marcy’s Project is a reality! We are an official 501c3 non-profit and operate on 100% volunteers. We raise money through donations, fundraising, grants and selling items through resale.
Helping one family led to us helping others. This inspired the main goal of Marcy’s Project: to help those who need it, one kind act at a time!
We can all make a difference… One Kind Act at a Time!
