About Mary’s Place Since 1999, Mary’s Place has helped thousands of women and families move out of homelessness into more stable situations. How do they do this? With two emergency family shelters in King County, they keep families together, inside, and safe when they have no place else to go, providing resources, housing and employment services, community, and hope. Each day, the Mary’s Place housing team works with families to address barriers and empower parents to build family stability, secure housing, and prepare for employment. Kids are connected with schools, participate in fun and enriching activities, and go on outings and adventures in Kids Club. In the evening, families in shelter eat dinner, do homework, spend time together, and prepare for the week ahead. Mary’s Place families include two-parent families (pregnant or with children), single parents of all genders (pregnant or with children), extended families, and families with pets! Mary’s Place team of mobile outreach specialists work with unsheltered families where they are, bringing supplies and resources to help address barriers. With flexible funding, the team helps families move quickly into stable housing, bypassing a shelter stay. By keeping families in their homes, preventing homelessness in the first place, reduces trauma, particularly among children, stops the cycle of generational homelessness, and is cost-effective. Mary’s Place ensures donated items go directly to families in need, and your contribution will do exactly that. For year-round ways to support Mary’s Place, visit their website Why Your Jacket Donation Matters When you bring in a gently-used jacket, you’re doing much more than just decluttering your closet. Here’s what your generosity accomplishes: · Warmth and dignity – A good jacket can make all the difference in someone’s day when they’re facing cold weather. You’re helping someone feel comfortable, protected, and cared for. · Support-in-action – Your donation supports a community organization (Mary’s Place) that’s tackling serious challenges like homelessness and instability for women and children. · Ripple effect of giving – By participating, you’ve modelled a culture of caring. That act can inspire others, family, friends, coworkers, to give what they can, amplifying the impact.
