Volunteer at MMC
Are you looking for a way to make a lasting impact? Becoming a volunteer can be a rewarding experience for many people. Volunteers use their experience and talents in a variety of areas at the Marjaree Mason Center. From assisting with administrative and clerical duties, community outreach and education, or direct client services—volunteers play an important role. The Marjaree Mason Center appreciates the commitment our volunteers make to help others and the community at large.
The Marjaree Mason Center volunteer process differs slightly depending on how you would like to contribute your time.
Wells Fargo Donates $2,500 to support MMC Safe Housing
Wells Fargo generously donated $2,500 to Marjaree Mason Center in support of our 120-bed Safe House facility, in Fresno, California. By supporting Marjaree Mason Center, Wells Fargo addresses the need to assist victims of domestic violence, a social problem and national health concern that significantly affects individuals and our community.
According to the Center for Disease Control, every year 1.3 million women are physically abused in the United States. Marjaree Mason Center provides a variety of support services to adults and their children escaping abusive relationships in Fresno County including a 24/7 agency staffed crisis hotline, 24/7 crisis support, emergency safe housing, safety planning, food, clothing, and case management. Annually, Marjaree Mason Center provides safe housing to 1,176 victims. Safe housing is essential in helping victims leave an abusive relationship and move toward a life free of violence.
You're Invited! Join us for Marjaree's 75th Birthday Celebration!
In honor of Marjaree’s life and legacy we invite you to attend a night on Bourbon Street at Marjaree’s Mardi Gras Birthday Soirée. The event will be held at Tornino’s Banquet in Fresno on Saturday, March 18th, 2017 at 6:00 p.m and it will include an appetizing sit-down dinner, cocktails, live and silent auctions, dancing and live music by the Valley Cats Band. This year is extra special because it marks the celebration of what would have been Marjaree’s 75th birthday.
Marjaree was tragically killed by her former boyfriend in 1978. It’s because of her story that we continue to provide a safe haven for victims of domestic violence. All proceeds from the event will support services that our center provides such as safe housing, counseling, and legal assistance. There are many opportunities for individuals and businesses to support the event, from sponsorships to donating auction items or just buying a table or tickets to join the fun!
