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!"
