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.
