We have a new website!

It’s been six and a half years since we co-founded The Mercy Project. I can hardly believe it. It’s always so strange for me to imagine how much time has passed as I still think of ourselves as a club or group of friends that got together just to do something we loved. Now we’re a registered charity that has fundraised more than $50,000 and has two wonderful community partners.

Having a volunteer-run board is not an easy thing to do. We’ve been fortunate to have so much support along the way, whether it be through free office space (thanks CVAP!), designing our beautiful logo (Cameron North), or creating and maintaining a website pro-bono (Nick Leduc).

Six years in the making, we’ve decided to give Nick a bit of a break. E-mailing him every week with new requests wasn’t such an efficient way to get work done (although Nick never complained about our constant needs, not once) which meant we began the long process of trying to design a new website that was more user-friendly for as little money as possible.

And so – here we are! We have a website that is simple but informative about who we are, what the organization is all about, and how you can be a part of it. We’re hoping you like it and please let us know of any feedback that you’d like to share with us! We’re still learning and are pretty proud of our first steps into website autonomy!

So take a look around, enjoy the photos & videos, and keep checking this blog as we’ll be sharing updates and articles all related to our work, similar causes, and our TMP family. Thanks for supporting the work we do.
