Donations

Every day, women and children in our community face unimaginable challenges: homelessness, domestic violence, addiction, and poverty. Without a safe place to turn, the cycle continues.

You can help break that cycle.

Your Gift Creates Real Change

Be the Reason a Family Finds Real Change.

For over 40 years, Saint John’s has been transforming lives in our community, empowering women and children to overcome homelessness, heal from trauma, and build new futures. Every donation directly supports:

  • Safe, stable housing
  • Mental health and addiction recovery services
  • Job training and employment support
  • Education and life skills development

Over 80% of every dollar you give helps fund our programs, with less than 20% used for administrative support that keeps them running strong. No matter the amount, your support creates real, lasting change for women and children working toward independence and a brighter future.
