Making a Donation to St. John’s Ministries

St. John’s Ministries serves a men and women all year long through our dual-season shelters and daytime resource centers. We have an obligation to meet their basic needs with everyday essentials to ensure their needs are met and their dignity honored. We hope you join us and respond to a greater need by helping our guests with a donation of much needed items.

When crafting our monthly wish list, we ask:

  • What items do our guests request the most?
  • What items are not practical for the everyday needs of those we serve?
  • How can we take advantage of the limited space we have while continuing to meet the basic needs of our guests?

With your help, we can curate a selection of items we keep in our donation room so that guests can receive what they need most.

Homelessness is hard, but your donations ease the minds and worries our guests carry with them. We want to invite you to donate items that make the most impact!

The best thing we hear from the community is: “What do you need now?”

When selecting items to donate to St. John’s follow these “pro tips”!

Remember that the items on our list are what are most needed and make the biggest impact on our guests.

Select the items on our list to donate to us, and donate any other items to a local thrift store.

Our monthly wish lists highlight critical clothing, hygiene, supply, and miscellaneous needs.

These are often items we use daily and run out of quickly.

For added ease of ordering, we also have an online Amazon and Walmart wish list.

If you’re unsure if your items are needed at St. John’s Ministries, call 436-9344 to speak with a volunteer or staff member who can let you know!
