Mercy’s Gate has been serving El Paso County since 1982 by providing life-affirming Direct Services Support, ongoing resources and education, and a growing network of community referrals and partnerships to individuals and families facing crisis.
To receive any of our direct services, you should arrive at Mercy’s Gate a few minutes before each ministry sessions begins. We fill appointments by holding a random drawing shortly after the doors open. Our direct services include assistance with your current rent or mortgage, utilities, clothing vouchers, medical co-pays, bus tokens and gas vouchers. We also have a food pantry open to all.
For all Direct Services, you must be an El Paso County resident. Please bring a valid Photo ID.
