Oct. 15 open house at House of Mercy

House of Mercy will hold “BBQ & Bales” open house on Saturday, Oct. 15, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the group’s business complex at 8170 Flannery Court, Manassas 20109.

The purpose of the event is to celebrate HOM donors, volunteers and staff and to encourage people to explore this dynamic organization.

Free barbeque will be available, as well as deals in the Thrift Store.

This is also an open invitation for people to explore the House of Mercy Food Pantry, Thrift Store, Donation Center and Learning Center, and to learn more about the aid services available.

HOM does not have any geographical boundaries, and provides food aid to people regardless of where they live.  Because of the diligence and sacrifice of the many types of donors who support HOM, this 11-year-old food pantry and clothing distribution organization is able to have a positive impact on people in need in the greater Manassas, Gainesville, Centreville, and Warrenton area, a news release said.

The organization, drawing upon its Roman Catholic Christian tradition, appreciates that love, charity, and mercy are guiding principles that will continue to address the many challenges facing “community” today.
