Last year alone Saint John's Hospice served over 80,000 meals. St. John's is a community grounded in faith and service where homeless men find dignity, respect, nourishment and opportunity for new beginnings.
St. John's Hospice provides four major services: The Day Services program provides a midday meal to approximately 400 men every weekday, along with opportunities to bathe and receive clothing. Saint John's residence for men is a 40 bed unit that provides comprehensive case management services. The Good Shepherd program is home for 12 medically fragile homeless men and offers intensive case management. A new program instituted at St. John's is their Coffee House, a service which shelters up to 25 chronically homeless men overnight and provides nourishment and access to Day Services.
