The Merced SPCA maintains a no-kill shelter and its main focus is to provide our animals with spaying/neutering, vaccinations and a safe environment until they can be adopted to a loving home. We are a non-profit organization and our funding is provided entirely by fund raisers, membership dues and donations.
We welcome new members! Dues are Seniors $25, Individuals $30 and Family $40. Please call for a membership form or pick one up at the shelter. Our meetings are held at the First Baptist Church of Merced, 500 Buena Vista, corner of Buena Vista and “M” Street.
Meetings take place at 7:00 p.m. the first Monday of every month. If the first Monday falls on a holiday, then we meet the next Monday.
Before joining you are welcome to visit us at the shelter or come to a meeting as a guest if you like. We’d enjoy meeting you

MOPS
MOPS stands for Mothers of Preschoolers
Mothers of Preschoolers, a program designed to nurture mothers with children from birth through kindergarten.
a program designed to nurture mothers with children from birth through kindergarten. MOPS groups meet in churches throughout the United States, Canada, and 19 other countries. The women are of many ages and backgrounds, but share the same desire – to be the best moms they can be!
MOPS is dedicated to the message that “mothering matters,” and that moms of young children need encouragement during these critical early years. MOPS exists to encourage, equip and develop every mother of preschooler to realize her potential as a woman, mother and leader in the name of Jesus Christ.
Merced MOPS
mops7
is a non-profit organization dedicated to empowering and inspiring women in their journey to be the best mom possible. Our primary tools for doing so are regular meetings where moms gather together to build friendships and to encourage one another.
mops6
MOPS offers an authentic community where moms can come and experience encouragement, support, and hope with other moms. Our meetings are designed to provide them with opportunities to relax, make new friends, enjoy adult conversation, learn a new skill or craft, hear guest speakers, and be involved in group discussions of interest for mothers with young children. It’s a great place to energize and get connected with other moms!
Mom’s Night Out
Outside of our regular meetings moms have the opportunity to strengthen their new and budding friendships at our monthly Mom’s Night Out, organized play dates throughout the year including summer park dates and at our special family events. Moms also deliver dinners to each other after a new arrival and during a time of need. Annually, MOPS hosts a photo booth at Yosemite Church Harvest Party,
mops2
Santa House (a weekend spent at the Beautiful Historic Mansion Inn for the kids to sit on Santa’s lap and take a picture, crafts and much more) and Spring Fling (a fun Easter celebration with an egg hunt, crafts and photos).
In addition, moms have created groups outside of MOPS open for anyone to attend. A few of these groups are: a couples/marriage group that meets weekly, knitting group, book club, freezer meal exchange group and more.
mops4
Merced MOPS
is much more than just a mom’s club. Outside of all the fun activities, encouragement, enrichment, etc.; these beautiful women are helping people throughout the world with service projects reaching others on different continents!
Annually, MOPS moms put together Operation Christmas Child shoe boxes (Samaritan’s Purse) that are sent to children all over the world. In recent years, moms have sent letters to US soldiers, made blankets for local children in need, helped to clean local parks and beautify our community, and supported Alpha Pregnancy Crisis Center with “baby showers” (showering Alpha with baskets full of donations for the families Alpha supports), monetary support during Alpha’s Baby Bottle Boomerang fundraiser and annual Alpha Walk.
mops10
Currently this year MOPS moms are supporting Blood:Water Mission by putting up a Lemon Aid stand at all our events to sell lemonade, coffee and/or water. The profits are donated to Blood:Water Mission to provide people in Africa with clean, safe water. $1 = 1 year of clean drinking water!
The connections made within MOPS are carried with moms even after her graduation and become friendships for life! Every mother of a preschooler can benefit from joining a MOPS group; to grow herself, her family, help her community and serve people all over the world.
