A grant of $350,000 was awarded to Saving Grace and Deschutes County to help operate the supervised visitation program, Mary’s Place, according to a news release.

The grant was provided through the federal Save Havens: Supervised Visitation and Safe Exchange grant program, and will help Mary’s Place continue providing services to families in Central Oregon.

Mary’s Place provides a safe and secure site for visitation between children and parents with a history of domestic violence, sexual assault, child abuse or stalking. The organization has served over 200 families since it opened in 2006.
