They really..really are good people who help those in need. We had a cracked tooth and was able to get in and out FREE OF CHARGE..if u don't have the money you will benefit. But they are NOT OPEN EVERY DAY..U MUST CALL AND LISTEN TO THE VOICEMAIL AND YOU WILL BE INSTRUCTED ON WHAT TO DO... GOD IS GOOD!..

Questions & Answers

how do you get what you need from Mary jo? you simply ask. ask ..-&- if the answer is NO, that means she's unable to help you..not that she doesn't care. she is the most unselfish soul

Mary Jo’s moods are mercurial and her decisions arbitrary. She does wonderful things for people, but if they displease her or disagree with her will kick entire families out of Mary’s Place with no stated reason and a two hour notice, making them homeless once again. So, toe the line and NEVER ask questions!

This place does have long lines. The long lines are because most people to get help, and they continue to return for help when needed. I stood in line last year, and I was helped with my need. Mrs. Mary Jo was very generous to me!

Vanessa “Nya” White | Oct 31, 2017
Jennifer Justen | Oct 31, 2018

yes. long lines. but so many hurting people. we dont just walk up to the front desk and demand to be served. serving the poor takes time and patience. imagine how Mary Jo feels on her feet for years helping us broken souls. 🌹👏🏻 i will wait all day if the need is great. #Grateful

I got a big question im wondering my mom just passed away and dint have insurance for funeral cost. Me amd my brother is 475.00 short of the 8,000.00 to sit down and meeting and cremation and food.... do the help and do i need to have info at all

Tim Karpas | Oct 30, 2020
Michael Honeyford | Oct 30, 2020

Most likely no. If a funeral home has over $7,000 towards the funeral there is no reason the funeral will not happen and the funeral home will work with you for the remaining for 475 and that is what Mary will question for sure..

Victoria Kelly | Oct 31, 2019
Troy McLaughlin | Oct 31, 2019

That's not wat they do they help with social services. Homelessness, food, meals. Help you get state ID's birthcertificates, clothes stuff like that, help you find shelter maybe. Trtransportation if your stranded and you don't live around this area. Not helping people move anywhere. Unless you are there causing problems the security guards will move you around up out of there. That's it and that's all. Good luck.
