☕ It’s the little things that make a big difference.
At St. John Center, a simple cup of coffee can mean comfort, warmth, and a fresh start to the day for someone experiencing homelessness. Right now, we’re in need of individual creamer cups and stirrers to keep the coffee flowing for our guests.
These small items go quickly — and they help create a welcoming, dignified space each morning.
If you’re heading to the store this week, consider picking up a box (or two!) to donate. Every cup served is a reminder that someone cares.
Donations can be dropped off at St. John Center during regular business hours. Or check out our Amazon Wishlist! www.stjohncenter.org/gifts-of-shelter-supplies/
Thank you for helping us serve with grace — one cup at a time. ☕💙
