Maryhouse — Attraction in Sacramento

This place is great, with a lot of resources for women in need. Its a 'day shelter' where you can sit indoors in the heat/ac, charge your phone, get cool water, or use the bathroom. They have a limited amount of spots for using the showers every weekday, so get there early. They serve breakfast every weekday morning until 9am. You can use this as a mailing address and use their phone or get messages. Once a week you can get toiletries like pads, socks, underwear, shampoob tooth paste and other stuff depending on the donations available. You can also get a small amount of diapers, wipes, baby food and formula. Sometimes they even have clothes and camping gear, but again it depends on the donations available. You can also get stamps, I believe its 1 per week. Quiet places to sit and sleep during the day. Its a small space, but theres a play ground outside for kids, and Mustard Seed school for all grades. Loaves & Fishes next door serves lunch every day of the week 11a-1pm, has mens showers and laundry, and has lockers to store stuff in, as well as hosting sac self help housing starting at 9am...

Such a blessing to me. There is no other place like this in California or anywhere else in the whole world that I am aware of. The courageous, compassionate and giving women, volunteers and employees have no idea what anyone is truly dealing with on a regular basis. Unless you have or are living the lifestyle of most of these homeless women and children you just never know what is going on in the minds and hearts of each and every person who walk through the doors. I have a 90% more positive attitude and outlook on my life today than I did two years ago when I walked thru the lobby feeling broken, discouraged and unsure of the life I was struggling with. I feel more encouraged about this L&F program who do more than just provide showers, a safety net, a warm temporary day shelter and hygiene kits. The love, smiles, positive mentoring and the gift of friendship and a sense of "belonging or acceptance". Thank you all for being there for me. With...

Kidding.. it's the Most ... "WONDERFUL" Place (as many) an Daytime Hospitality Services, for the Homeless women & their Children a Program of Loaves &Fished in Sacramento, Ca. The Staff Members (with no Problem) jump aside just to Lend the helping hand Some seem to need in their own life times.. in different situations in many ways it's not a shelter but could be of assistance in clothing, meals, personal needs (high-gene materials) but they do assist with Social workers to help in housing, n childcare.. it's a great place I'd personally call Our Appointed Angels yes in my Book "They've all Earned their Wing*. 🤗 .. and their on that First Page of My Family's Album.. I thank them .. although I had no children at one time.. they helped me ..n they always Except donations for many needs.. I'm happy to have met them.. God has his way.. when you feel there's nothing they had a helping hand n comfort .. I admire them so Much.. Alice Sacramento...
