House of Mercy is hosting its 4th Annual High Tea Fundraiser on Saturday, May 9, 2026, from 1:00 PM to 3:00 PM.
This formal affair will feature curated English tea, locally sourced pastries, and a selection of finger foods. Enjoy a fashion show, a Bou-Tea-Que with curated thrifted finds, and a silent auction—all in support of House of Mercy’s mission to feed local families in need.
