💙 Thank You, Honorable Order of the Blue Goose International! 💙
This July, we were grateful to receive the generous support of the Honorable Order of the Blue Goose International during their annual conference!
We are always thankful when organizations use their gatherings as an opportunity to give back and strengthen the communities around them. Their generosity helps St. John Center continue providing compassionate services, resources, and support to people experiencing homelessness in Louisville.
Thank you to the members of the Honorable Order of the Blue Goose International for choosing to support St. John Center and for including our work as part of your annual conference. We are grateful for your generosity and partnership!

Every day at St. John Center, hundreds of people rely on us for more than a safe place to visit—they rely on us for the basic essentials many of us take for granted.
As our supply shelves empty, we're asking our community to help fill them back up. Your donation of everyday necessities helps us care for our neighbors experiencing homelessness with dignity, compassion, and respect.
Whether you give one item or many, your generosity has an immediate impact on someone's day—and can be the first step toward a brighter tomorrow.
Visit a.co/dJQb2rP to donate or shop our Amazon Wish List.
Thank you for standing with our neighbors when they need it most. ❤️
