December 2020 SJC's Essential Workers This year - as COVID-19 took over our daily lives - the front line staff at St. John Center who work every day to tackle the barriers between the people we serve and permanent housing masked up, reached out, and offered support, comfort, and opportunity in the most difficult of times. The word "hero" doesn't seem big enough for these mighty people. Even in the midst of a global pandemic, not one of our amazing direct service staff have stepped away from this mission or this work.

Remembering Two Founding Volunteers
In the last month, the St. John Center family lost two of our founding volunteers. Collectively, Sue Speed and Mary Margaret Mulvihill volunteered for over 60 years. They were part of our community when our doors opened in 1986 and their legacy of service will live on in our work. We celebrate their lives, and all lives lived in service to our homeless brothers and sisters.
