Happy Earth Day! 🌎
Today is a reminder that caring for our community also means caring for the world around us. Small actions—like reducing waste, reusing what we can, and being mindful of our resources—can make a meaningful difference over time.
At St. John Center, we see every day how important it is to create spaces that are safe, welcoming, and sustainable for all.
Together, we can continue building a stronger, healthier community for everyone.

Small items make a big difference.
Every day at St. John Center, we provide essential supplies to help individuals feel cared for, confident, and supported. Right now, we are especially in need of:
• Disposable razors
• Toothbrushes
• Toothpaste
• Deodorant
• Underwear
These everyday essentials help us meet immediate needs with dignity and compassion.
If you’d like to help, you can purchase items directly from our Amazon Wishlist: a.co/dJQb2rP
Thank you for showing up for our community in meaningful ways. 💙
