The Good Samaritan Inn

This Memorial Day, we pause to remember and honor the brave men and women who gave their lives in service to our country. Their sacrifice is woven into the freedoms we experience each day, and we are deeply grateful.

As many gather with family and friends this holiday, we also recognize that some in our community may still be in need of a warm meal and a welcoming place to visit.

Good Samaritan Inn will be open on Memorial Day from 11:30am-1:00pm, serving lunch to anyone in need. No questions asked. All are welcome at the table.

Wishing everyone a safe and meaningful Memorial Day.

Just two weeks until Mercy Market returns! ☀️🌽🎶

We are excited to bring local growers, bakers, and makers together for a great start to your Saturdays all summer long.

One of the things we are most proud of, and the whole reason we started the market, is the ability to provide LINK benefits to market shoppers.

At every market, there is a LINK booth set up where shoppers can swipe their card and receive tokens to purchase many types of foods from eligible vendors. As an added bonus, each dollar swiped will be matched with a voucher that can be used to purchase produce.

These benefits extend beyond Mercy Market to the Decatur Central Park Farmers Market, the Richland Farmers Market, and even markets in Champaign, Urbana, Monticello, and Danville, helping more families bring fresh, local food to their tables.

Fresh produce, homemade goods, live music, and a community that believes everyone deserves access to healthy food... summer Saturdays are almost here, and we cannot wait to welcome you back to Mercy Market! 🌱🥕🛍️

Happy 4 Year Anniversary, Charles! 🎉

For the past four years, Charles has been an important part of our team and a familiar, welcoming presence in our facility each day. From washing and putting away dishes to helping keep our space clean and running smoothly, he plays a big role in making sure we can continue serving our community well.

Charles also helps hand out sack lunches, greets guests at the door, and welcomes volunteers as they arrive to lend a hand. His steady presence and willingness to jump in wherever needed make a difference to both our team and the people we serve every day.

Thank you, Charles, for four years of dedication, consistence, and service to our community. Here’s to many more! 🌟
