WHO WE ARE
Our mission is to provide shelter, hope, and restoration to no-income and low income individuals by offering an affordable transitional housing program.
Our goal is to involve the community through volunteer work, monetary support, and item donations to use throughout Mary’s Place, helping those in need in our community.
Our Christian heritage helps shape our vision of social responsibility. We are here to provide safe, clean, and dignified housing for no-income and low-income individuals in Marshfield, Wisconsin Rapids, and the surrounding communities.
History
Mary’s Place Transitional Shelter in Marshfield is a non-profit program launched in 2005 with the help of St. Joseph's Hospital and Ministry Health Care along with the generosity of the community. The program focuses on facilitating a housing program for helping the homeless, no-income, low-income individuals in Marshfield and surrounding areas.
In early 2021 Mary's Place was approached by partners in Wisconsin Rapids, they indicated the need to open a transitional housing program in South Wood County and were interested in replicating the Mary's Place model. In spring of 2022, Mary's Place in collaboration with numerous community partners, was awarded a grant to purchase and renovate an existing building in Wisconsin Rapids to open a second location. The new location will be opening in Spring of 2023!
WHO WE SERVE
We serve no-income and low-income individuals needing support for life advancement and to re-establish themselves in the community. Mary's Place has been active in Marshfield for over 17 years, and we are expanding to serve the Wisconsin Rapids area with a projected opening date in spring of 2023.
