MESSAGE FROM MARIA GOMEZ, PRESIDENT & CEO
I would like to welcome you to the Mary’s Center website. It is here that
you will find valuable information about the center, its programs and its
services. It is also an opportunity for you to join us in making a difference
in the lives of those we serve.
As Mary’s Center approaches its 20th anniversary, we look forward to our
continued growth by extending the Center’s services beyond the District of
Columbia with the opening of our center in Montgomery County in the fall
of 2007. We also strive to identify new partners in an effort to establish
a full service center in the Commonwealth of Virginia.
Thank you for visiting our website and I encourage you to come in to any
of our locations and learn more about how we are saving lives and creating
stronger communities, one family at a time.
