A Major Milestone for Our Community
Mercaz has officially purchased its new home—a defining moment in our growth and a critical step toward long-term stability. This achievement was made possible through $1.6 million in community contributions and supportive seller financing. Thank you to all of our supporters.
With this foundation in place, we can now look ahead with optimism and excitement as we begin building Mercaz’s future.
