Our Mission

Mary’s Shelter is committed to empowering homeless youth by providing housing, education, and social service programs.

Our Vision Statement

Mary’s Shelter envisions a community where youth have a safe place to call home and access to the resources and support needed to achieve their full potential. Through compassion, respect and empowerment, we aim to break the cycle of homelessness and create a future where youth are provided with the skills to have independence, resilience and confidence to thrive.

Our Accomplishments

Mary’s Shelter’s housing and social service programs have been used as a model for establishing new maternity homes and its successful program has been replicated in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, Texas, Alabama and Iowa. In addition, Mary’s Shelter executive staff members have been consulted on every aspect of establishing a Maternity Home from the grass roots beginning to program development to creating a development plan.
