Creating Safe Spaces: How Mary’s Place Supports Homeless Families

Mary’s Place is a vital organization dedicated to supporting homeless families in Seattle. With a mission to provide safe, inclusive spaces, they offer essential services like emergency shelter, case management, and access to resources that empower families to regain stability.


Did you know Mary's Place was established in 1999 as a program of the Church of Mary Magdalene? Founded in 1991 by Rev. Jean Kim, the Church of Mary Magdalene was a space for women experiencing homelessness to find community and hope!



In 1999 the church received funding from the Boeing Employees Community Fund to open a day center program called Mary's Place. In 2011, with goals to serve even more women and families of all backgrounds, Mary's Place became an independent 501c3 nonprofit organization.

The impact of Mary’s Place extends beyond just providing shelter. Their comprehensive approach includes family support programs, job training, and health services, all designed to help families navigate their unique challenges. Volunteers play a crucial role in this mission, contributing their time and skills to create a welcoming community. By uniting efforts, Mary’s Place is not only changing lives but also inspiring hope and resilience in the face of adversity.
