Wish I could have put no star, supposed to be a thrift and shelter but wants to price by the new cost, not a deal. And also not a negotiable business, fake smiles. 50$? I offered 40$ but supposed to be thrift. Fake smiles.

I wouldn't wish this place on my worst enemy they coerse the residents to go to churchs and other events to tell about how great this place is but they are all lies they get huge donations from these false testimonies and use them for any and everything but the women they claim they are used for!!!! They literally try everything in their power to sabatoge your progress moving forward so that they can trap you there longer a staff literally called and got my car towed so I wouldn't be able to leave! If you have an outside resource such as food stamps they take them from you! They mistreat you as if you're less than a person. I encourage any woman in need to go elsewhere!

I've been to this place twice and did not manage to complete the program but I am so glad I was there both times. I had a safe place to sleep and shower and just live during two of my pregnancies. They make sure you eat and stay healthy here. You will have your own case plan to follow based on you and your children's personal needs. It's not easy. No place is going to be easy but I have been to so many shelters and I have never seen a place that helps on the level that this place aims and succeeds to help. There is drama and there are some RAs that make mistakes sometimes. They are still human. Not gods. So expecting people to be perfect is ridiculous. But I would watch for Ms Susan.... Especially if your black. She is extremely racist and has a tendency to single out specific residents and bully them but other than that very small, insignificant gray area I give the place an A+!And Ms. Susan is not house-mom. Mary's shelter's house-mom died. Her name was Ms. Linda and Ms. Linda earned that title and job. It is a job to be taken seriously. Not a charitable promotion to make life more convenient for an old lady who has put herself into a position. House mom was Ms. Linda, no one else. She also drove extremely dangerous. They stopped letting her drive finally. Unfortunately that was after she got into an accident with a resident and her newborn baby. But I have every faith that this terrible person will be fired eventually. Bad RAs have a tendency to be fired not long after starting. They generally don't stay on as long as she has but hey, the truth always comes out sooner or later.

If i could give this place ZERO stars i would!! This was THEE WORST place to live in especially if you’re African American! They treat you very unfairly. They allow pregnant women to smoke. They talk to you like you’re inadequate! The staff there are terrible and racist! I would never in my life recommend anyone to go here! They don’t really help you! They don’t allow you to sleep which caused me to have a high risk pregnancy! They have me anxiety and I hated living there the 1 month I did! Very miserable place, they do NOT care about your well being! They put on a facade as if they take care of the women but they don’t! They will steal and break your belongings if they are worth any value! Im still waiting a YEAR later to be compensated for my apple watch that they DELIBERATELY broke! Once again I would NEVERRRR recommend anyone to live here! Find other resources if you can! The money they receive from donations do NOT go to the women! It’s basically like a PRISON there! I mean the list goes on about my experience! Im so happy I left and made a better life for my daughter and I! DO NOT COME TO THIS HELL HOLE!

I was kicked out due to a fake threat but it was okay for me to walk around feeling threatened, and taunted a way bcuz of the color of my skin . I don't advise any colored women to call and go to this place . Also the donations aren't being used for us , it goes towards stuff that we have to by . They take your phones 15 months u can only have it while your at work, and after your 30 days is up you get it Sundays for Like 6 hours.. They have holes in the walls Miss Shannon is A addixt (well recovering addict forcing people to go to N/A group . Taking our foodstamps is illegal as well .....

I had a unpleasant experience there with staff. There was racial discrimination and favoritism amongs certain gurls. The gurls that were there years prior were treated better. I was bullied and lied on. If you are an african American I would not recommend.

I was a resident at Mary’s Shelter , these reviews do not do this place justice. I was at the lowest of my low . I went there with my toddler and pregnant with my now 7 month old . If you are associated with Mary’s Shelter you have probably even read my story, it wasn’t easy for me to go and it was not easy for me to stay . It is not a homeless shelter you go to just to have somewhere to live , it is a mission for women to become the best they can be for themselves and their children , some women just aren’t ready and that’s okay but Mary’s shelter has never and will never turn their back on any Pregnant women they encounter . The staff is amazing, the case manager works with you individually and is amazing. This is a place that turns into your family .
