Mary's Place provides - basic necessities, including shelter, food, clothing, and toiletries. - 24 hour, 7 days per week, on-site staffing for crisis intervention. Mary's Place partners with other agencies to provide further support for residents. In 2006, YWCA Kitchener-Waterloo undertook an extensive renovation of Mary's Place.
