🧡 Happy Volunteer Week to our St. John Center Champions! 🧡 This week, we’re celebrating the incredible volunteers who show up, step up, and pour love into our mission. From preparing mailings to sharing smiles in the day shelter, YOU make the difference. You’ve sorted socks, served meals, helped people get mail and IDs, and brought calm into moments of crisis. You’ve made it possible for our clients to be seen, heard, and valued.
Whether you're here weekly, monthly, or once in a while, we want you to know: we see you, we appreciate you, and we couldn’t do this work without you.
💬 Drop a thank you below if you’ve been touched by one of our amazing volunteers!
