Community Support Through Ministries Volunteering
We are excited by churches or faith-based organizations that are called to partner with us and serve Louisville’s unhoused population. There are many ways to support, including in-kind donations, volunteering your time, organizing collection drives for immediate needs, having SJC speak at your church or event, and more.
SJC has been serving people in need since 1986. No matter the reason, we meet our guests where they are to help elevate their needs. The shelter provides safe shelter, clean facilities, and resources to our unhoused neighbors. Our values and beliefs align with faith-based organizations looking for serving opportunities.
Much of our support comes from the helping hands of volunteer groups like yours and for that, we are truly grateful! Your efforts will help people experiencing homelessness address the barriers to housing and self-sufficiency so they can leave homelessness for good.
Ways that Your Faith-Based Organization Can Partner With St. John Center:
Donate
We’re grateful to receive funding from several faith-based organizations partners who allocate funds for SJC out of their mission’s budgets and/or special love offerings. Additionally, several churches host collection drives to fill our immediate needs, including new socks and undergarments, items for the shower room, and more. We appreciate any gifts and put them to use – quickly!
