Mary's Place has been in operation for over 1.5 years now. It has been a challenging and rewarding experience; and we've learned a lot! One need we quickly assessed was that a childcare position would be paramount in allowing Mary's Place residents to work towards their goals.

Words cannot express how appreciative we are of the support that has been shown for LCRC today. For those who stuck with it and kept trying to donate throughout the giveMN.org website crash - THANK YOU! Watching our donations grow throughout the day and into the evening has been inspiring. The morale boost it gives staff to know that so many people support their hard work is something that can't be put into words. The financial contributions received sustain our programs. The thoughtfulness & care sustains our staff.
