Event Description:
Mary’s Place is one of the few organizations that offer crisis response night shelter and day center services for homeless families with children. Mary’s Place empowers families to take control of their lives by meeting basic needs such as hygiene, shelter, food, and clothing; and providing access to tools, information, support groups and resources to find employment, housing, medical, and financial services.
What we'll be doing:
Mary's Place also provides age-appropriate programming and fun... like birthday parties! Come help play games with the kids and celebrate their birthday milestone.

Mary's Place:
Mary’s Place is a nonprofit organization that empowers homeless women, children, and families to reclaim their lives. Mary’s Place opened in 1999 as a drop-in day center for single homeless women in downtown Seattle. In response to the increasing numbers of women and families with children experiencing homelessness, Mary’s Place opened its first emergency family night shelter in 2011 and currently operates seven family shelters providing more than 680 beds. Four of those shelters operate as 24/7 Family Centers that provide housing, employment, and wellness services each day for families experiencing homelessness.
