Mary’s Place shelters and supports families experiencing homelessness in King County. Volunteers work at its two Seattle family shelters and its donation center, and groups can run a donation drive or assemble kits of everyday essentials.
Around the holidays it collects gift cards, its greatest need, and new, unwrapped toys for kids up to age 12; its holiday page lists each year’s drop-off dates.
