What is Maria's Place?

Our Mission

Is to impact the world of older adults through uplifting and purposeful content, support, and resources to maintain or enhance quality of life.

Activities for Everyone

Maria’s Place was created for older adults and all the people and organizations serving this demographic. We believe quality activities should be accessible to everyone, so we have created a free library of over 700 activities catering to social, emotional, cognitive, and physical well-being.

And remember, “we don’t stop playing because we
grow old, we grow old because we stop playing.”

(wise words from Mr. George Bernard Shaw).
