🎉✨ BINGO Night Just Got Even Better! ✨🎉
Not only do you get to enjoy a night of fun, prizes, and laughs at Bingo with St. John Center… you can also try your luck with our Split the Pot drawing! 🤑
Here’s how it works:
💵 Buy your Split the Pot tickets at the event.
🎟️ The more tickets you buy, the better your odds!
🏆 One lucky winner takes home HALF the pot… the other half supports St. John Center’s mission of housing and hope.
Don’t miss your chance to shout BINGO! and maybe walk away with some extra 💲 in your pocket.
📅 Save the date, bring your friends, and join the fun!

We need more housing—and more shelter in the meantime.
🚨 Tomorrow Metro Council votes on Ordinance O-139-25, which would add red tape making it harder for St. John Center, churches, and community centers to open or expand shelters when people have nowhere else to go.
On White Flag days—when it’s dangerously hot or cold—lives depend on emergency shelter. This ordinance would slow us down, just when our community needs to respond the fastest.
👉 Take 45 seconds to tell your council member: Vote NO.

🏠 Permanent Supportive Housing: A Foundation for Stability 🌱
At St. John Center, we believe that housing is a right, not a privilege. Our Permanent Supportive Housing (PSH) program offers more than just a roof over someone’s head—it provides a stable, supportive environment where individuals can thrive.
With the right resources and care, people who have experienced chronic homelessness can build lasting stability and achieve their personal goals. It’s not just about housing—it’s about a future full of possibilities.
Together, we’re creating a community where everyone has the chance to grow, heal, and succeed. 💙
