Needs
We have grown our capacity to serve up to 270 women and children per day, and up to 500 per year. There is currently a 6-8 week waiting time for homeless women and children who are in desperate need of the services we provide.
Our up-to-18-month residential program addresses the root causes as well as the symptoms of homeless, and delivers an average of 675 hours of service per month/per family including:
• Case Management • Mental Health Therapy • Addiction Counseling • Life Skills Coaching (parenting, healthy relationships, anger management, financial) • A Path to a High School Diploma • Employment Training • Job Readiness • Job Placement • Childcare and After-school Enrichment
Volunteers are vital to Saint John’s success, providing crucial support to our mission and staff, both on campus and at special events. We invite you to prepare and serve a meal in our kitchen, assist in our administrative offices, help in our childcare or warehouse, present a program, offer a workshop or volunteer at an event. We welcome your ideas and talents!
We also invite you to join the Circle. The Saint John's Circle is a fundraising and awareness-building auxiliary group for Saint John's. Members are active volunteers committed to the growth of Saint John's. They organize special events and provide essential support. All they are missing is you!
We regularly need in-kind support in the form of professional services, school uniforms, professional clothing for job interviews, diapers, feminine hygiene products, towels, bedding and vehicles. All these donations make an enormous impact on a woman or child's life.
