Support Our Mission
More than 60% of St. John center’s annual budget is provided by the local community. You are what makes the work of St. John Center possible. Contributions from our community are literally life-saving at St. John Center.
Volunteer
Since the day we opened our doors, volunteers have extended hospitality to our homeless guests. Volunteers welcome our guests, serve coffee, and ensure the men have the supplies they need to shower, seven days a week.
