Mary's Place

Our friends at First Tech Federal Credit Union stopped by to share joy and warmth with kids at Mary’s Place during this week’s power outage! We had so much fun making pumpkin turkeys! ?? ??

Stay up-to-date with everything happening at Mary's Place - staff and guests share their Mary's Place memories, how you can help for the holidays, and more!

It's #NationalHungerandHomelessness week and the reality is, our emergency shelters are full. Shelter alone is not enough to ensure every family has a safe, stable home. Mary's Place addresses family homelessness with a 3-pronged approach, helping families keep or find housing. Your gift during our #NoChildSleepsOutside campaign will provide the resources we need to keep more families housed or in safe shelter during the cold, wet winter months! Can we count on you?

Today, we're launching our #NoChildSleepsOutside campaign with an urgent goal to make sure no child in our community has to sleep outside in the cold and wet this winter! These are our neighbors - families who may have been getting by until a medical bill, job loss, or unexpected crisis changed everything. Many never imagined they'd need help - but we need to be there for them. Make a gift TODAY and help us kick off the campaign: bit.ly/MarysPlaceNCSO24

A new partnership with North Seattle College fosters community and confidence for new parents at Mary's Place in a Parenting Circle! “Each week, we talk through fears and challenges. Parents find strength and solace in knowing they're not alone. Teaching coping strategies and the value of self-care helps equip parents with the necessary skills for this developmental stage and future growth.” says educator Kristina. https://lnkd.in/gd253gke
