WISCONSIN RAPIDS, WI (WSAU-WAOW) – Marshfield nonprofit Mary’s Place is opening a second location in Wood County.
Mary’s Place has helped over 1,000 people since it opened its doors in 2005 nearly two decades ago.
They stand by their mission: To provide shelter for those who need it, hope for the hopeless, and restoration in lives that need it most.
Peter McDonald, who is currently a site manager for the organization, is a success story of the program showing how anyone can do it with a little help. “Follow the suggestions, it does work. Do what I did, and if you need to, ask questions. Talk to me, I have no problem talking to anybody about this program,” said McDonald.
The new site celebrated with a ribbon cutting on Tuesday, and the organization will open its doors officially on June 19.
The average cost for residents is $80 per week and they are currently taking applications for both residents and volunteers.
