Mary's Place is a transitional home for women recently released from prison or a rehabilitation center. It is named after the late Dr. Mary L. Avery. She was the original brain-child for Dawn Transitional Center many years ago. Her dream was recaptured in November 2017, as New Dawn Social Services and will continue to live on through others.
Located in the heart of Memphis, Mary's Place provides women with the resources needed to make a successful transition. If you would like to volunteer with the ladies at Mary's Place or the Men at Smitty's House please email us at info@NDSSMemphis.com
