St. John Center shines on after 25 years of lighting the way for homeless men
Our 25th anniversary open house was a huge success. 350 people from the community stopped by to celebrate St. John Center's past and bright future.
Housed in a former Catholic church building built in the mid-1800’s, St. John Center has been recently renovated and is ready to welcome the community to reflect on its rich, 25-year history of service and to look ahead to its bright future..JPG)
“This anniversary year has given us the opportunity to reflect upon the great service St. John Center has given the community by helping homeless men improve their lives,” said Maria Price, Executive Director. “When more than 1 in 4 of Kentucky's children now lives in poverty, unfortunately, we have reason to believe our services will be needed long into the future. So this also has been a time to recommit ourselves to providing the best possible opportunities to help homeless men move into housing and leave homelessness for good.”
“We also took the opportunity to introduce our new logo at this event,” said Jennifer Nickel, the agency’s director of marketing and communications. “The logo, designed by Stewart and Associates, expresses both personality and purpose: a protected place, a hub of services, a warm and caring daytime refuge for men. We've incorporated it into the new signage on the building and other uses of the new logo and design are coming soon.”
