St. Mary’s Center for Women and Children (St. Mary’s Center), a multi-service organization supporting 500 women, children, and families annually across the city of Boston, believes shelter is not enough to erase the devastation of cyclical poverty and homelessness. Grounded in social justice, St. Mary’s Center empowers families to achieve emotional stability and economic independence through education, workforce development, behavioral health and family medicine, and permanent housing. Their main campus is located in Dorchester—the largest, most diverse neighborhood in Boston.
