For the last 25 years, Mary’s Place has provided wrap around services to women and families experiencing homelessness with the help of compassionate, dedicated, LOVING, volunteers!

As a Mary's Place Volunteer and Event Coordinator, Grace Helmcke loves creating volunteer opportunities that make joyful moments and create connections with our guests. From flower arranging classes and conversations in their native languages to welcoming princesses and meals served with a smile, Grace helps our volunteers share their skills, love, and support with families at Mary’s Place in a fun and meaningful way.

The Allen Family Center (AFC) is a one-stop shop providing families assistance with housing, health, and child wellbeing. Mary’s Place is one of five local community partners that provide services and resources at the AFC – assisting 669 families last year alone.

A new partnership with Shoreline Community College is expanding our guests' English as a Second Language (ESL) learning opportunities.
