More than 150 children and youth come to the Merrick Center every day after school and more than 600 drop-in over the weekend to play basketball. During the summer, young people attend camp at the Merrick Center each day and many more drop-in for basketball and a safe and welcoming community center. Our quality enrichment and out-of-school programming provides young people and their families with a safe space to learn, play, and develop skills that will help them thrive.


Currently, during the COVID-19 Pandemic your donation is needed more than ever.  All donations would help in our efforts to sustain our presence in the community and on-line with academic support and out-of-school time programming.
