Agency Details:

Church Of Mary Magdalene

Church of Mary Magdalene provides homeless and formerly homeless women a safe environment to build relationships, experience hope and love, explore faith, and develop strength to reach their full potential.

Description:
Mary's Place, our daytime drop-in center, is a safe place off the streets where women can access resources to get out of homelessness. We provide basics like showers and meals, health care, housing applications, educational and personal growth groups, recovery support, and referral to useful resources. Just as important, the women build supportive friendships, encourage one another, and work together to create a home-like atmosphere.

History:
Church of Mary Magdalene was founded in 1991 to be a spiritual home for homeless women who felt unwelcome in traditional churches. Church services are still held each Saturday, including a homeless women's choir. Mary's Place opened in 2000 to provide weekday services.
