September 2020 Every Gift is One Step Closer to Home On September 17th, St. John Center will take part in Louisville's community-wide day of giving, Give for Good. We hope you will join us. Every gift is one step closer to home for the people we serve.
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.

August 2020 
Your Support in Action Each July, St. John Center begins a new fiscal year. This week, the staff spent a day evaluating our three programs; Street Outreach, the Day Shelter and Social Services Center, and the Permanent Supportive Housing Program. The onset of the global pandemic significantly changed many of the ways we are able to provide services. Still, every day our goal is to be a place people experiencing homelessness can seek help, find hope, and move home.
In the last 12 months
