🎉 Thank You, L.O.U.! 🛏️🏡
We are beyond grateful to our friends at L.O.U. for their generous support of St. John Center’s programs! Their donation of bedding and other move-in materials helps ensure that our clients feel a true sense of home the moment they open the door.
Your compassion provides comfort and dignity to those transitioning into housing, transforming empty spaces into safe and welcoming homes. With your support, we are not only ending homelessness—we are creating new beginnings. 💛
Thank you for being part of our mission. We couldn’t do this work without community partners like you!
