About Mary House
|
Mary House is a community based organization that provides transitional housing services, shelter and support programs to homeless and struggling families, and was founded on the concept that "smaller is better." The philosophy at Mary House has always been to help others as we ourselves would want to be helped, while providing a safe haven that allows families to reclaim their dignity. Mary House is run entirely on donations and grants, and we accomplish our service and our mission through the generosity of people like you. |
At the Mary House Christmas party, Samer, one of our residents from Iraq brought his synthesizer along to play Christmas carols. About 50 people were crammed into our office, kids getting their presents, adults chatting and eating amazing food. The carol singing began, with Samer in his Santa hat. About 2/3 of the Mary House program participants are Hispanic, and so it was no surprise that halfway through the carol-singing somebody suggested 'Feliz Navidad'. |
