💧 40 Years of Care. 40 Bottles of Relief. 💙
In honor of St. John Center’s 40th anniversary, you can make a life-saving difference during extreme weather.
Donate 40 bottled waters to help keep our neighbors hydrated and safe during the hottest and coldest days of the year. www.stjohncenter.org/gifts-of-shelter-supplies/

🚐 Meeting People Where They Are
Every day, St. John Center's Street Outreach team goes beyond the walls of our building to connect with people experiencing homelessness throughout Louisville.
Whether it's providing basic necessities, helping replace vital documents, connecting someone to medical or behavioral health care, assisting with housing navigation, or simply building trust through consistent outreach, our team is there when it's needed most.
Every conversation is an opportunity. Every connection is a step toward stability.
Thank you to everyone who supports this life-changing work and helps us reach our neighbors with compassion, dignity, and hope.
