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.
Employment
Want to see current employment opportunities at St. John Center? Our mission is to help our homeless guests address the barriers to housing and self-sufficiency so that they can leave homelessness for good.
