We Understand the Importance of Supporting Our Community.
At The Merc we respect and support the many organizations, schools, social service agencies and churches that help make Lawrence such a strong and vibrant place to live. Our Donation Program takes many shapes – cases of apples for a school event, gift certificates for a raffle, ingredients for a meal for underserved families, gifts at the holidays, class gift certificates for fund-raising, and direct financial support. We work with our community members to do the best we can to meet their needs.Click the Donations Overview page on the left to learn more or browse through the latest posts below about our continued support to community organizations.

All New Vegetarian Moroccan

Enjoy exotic flavors for a spring evening. We’ll start with a salad plate of Carrot Salad with Mint; Roasted Eggplant Salad with Harissa; and Sliced Oranges with Black Olives. Then we’ll bring out loaves of freshly baked Moroccan Anise Bread to dip into Bessara (Berber-style Bean Puree). We’ll cap off the evening with an extravagant dessert of Lemon Couscous Cake served with Medjool Date Ice Cream. All the benefits of travel to an exotic land with none of the hassles.
