It would be an understatement to call Mary’s Place Family Center, a homeless shelter because it is more than that. Mary’s Place Family Center offers laundry facilities for the residence Amazon

If we go back a couple of years, Amazon and Mary’s Place, a nonprofit that repurposes vacant old buildings into temporary homeless shelters, collaborated to make half of Amazon’s campus in Seattle’s Regrade neighborhood a new permanent homeless shelter. The homeless shelter is called Mary’s Place Family Center, and the timing of it opening could not have been more perfect. If you remember, our country began shutting down mid-March when schools were just getting finished with spring break. Our country shut down the same time Mary’s Place Family Center opened and provided for the many homeless people and an increase in homeless people caused by the crisis.

Although it may be difficult to see a silver lining during the bad times, there are no words for when you do see it. Unless you live under a rock or work under a rock, you know that millions of people have moved to work from home (WFH) since the COVID-19 crisis started, and that leaves many business buildings and offices practically vacant. I believe wholeheartedly that there is a purpose for everything.

Mary’s Place Family Center is more than just a homeless shelter
