🕯️ Transgender Day of Remembrance 🕯️
Today, we honor and remember the transgender individuals whose lives were lost to anti-transgender violence. This day calls us to reflect, to mourn, and to recommit ourselves to building a world rooted in respect, safety, and dignity for all people.
We stand in solidarity with the transgender community and affirm our commitment to compassion, inclusion, and justice. Every person deserves to live openly and safely as their authentic self. 🌈💜

🧦 Underwear & Socks: Small Items, Big Impact 🩲
At St. John Center, these basics are some of our most requested items all year long. Clean socks and fresh underwear help our guests stay healthy, comfortable, and treated with dignity.
You can help meet this everyday need:
✔️ Donate new men’s and women’s underwear (all sizes)
✔️ Donate new socks
✔️ Host a mini collection drive at work, church, or with friends
✔️ Order directly from our Amazon wishlist a.co/dJQb2rP
These essentials may seem simple, but they make a world of difference. Thank you for caring for our community in such a meaningful way. 💛
