Volunteer Testimony
"I have been blessed to have had the opportunity to able to volunteer at Mary's place, meet the directors and I know the amazing people who own The building. The owners have given above and beyond with their time and money from their own pockets. The material goods have been provided for by the owners, volunteers and donors. Marys Place is aesthetically beautiful, but more importantly the dignity that the women and their children are treated with is superior. The owners volunteer their time to care for the women, heart, mind soul., The women and children who stay have a lovely outdoor space to play, walk, relax... all with donated furniture and landscaped by the volunteers and owners. Mary's Place. The facility and the people involved are an inspiration to all who take the time to be a part of the mission. Go Mary’s Place!"

Foodie Fridays
Would you like to make a meal for our mothers? You can do this individually or with a group. Drop it off or cook with our moms, they love learning a new recipe or a tried and true one, your choice!
Gardening
We are looking for volunteers to help with gardening duties such as planting flowers around our home, beautifying the Blessed Mother Grotto with fresh plants and flowers and helping our moms in our new herb garden.
Creative Classes
Our programming includes creative classes as an outlet to everyday stresses. If you have a creative talent, come teach a class for our moms. Some examples include ceramics, painting, sewing, and holiday crafts.
Experiences
Our moms work hard on a daily basis and enjoy getting out of the house once in awhile. If you enjoy this too, we would love your help planning and accompanying our moms and babies to cultural attractions like the zoo, museums, live entertainment or local fairs.
Provide A Ride
Our moms do not have their own car and are often in need of a ride to doctor’s appointments, job interviews, therapy or educational classes. Spending time in the car is a great way to get to know our moms and share the love of God with them.

Social Services
Do you have experience in social services and would like to help our mothers along their journey? They often need help applying for assistance through other organizations and programs, general counseling, job training and more.
Baby Love
Sometimes our moms need an hour or two for selfcare, to do laundry, organize their room or do homework. If you are a woman with infant care experience, you might love helping our moms by watching their babies at Mary's Place, so mom can have a small break.
