Generous, loving, Godly staff who do a remarkable job everyday feeding and housing the emotionally wounded, those alone in the world, the poor, and the ill and mentally ill, and who provide a way up and out of despair for many, many men. A place of miracles. Prayers.

Questions & Answers

Why is there food, clothing and other debris always surrounding the entrance and side street. It’s disgusting and the men deserve better. They’re should be a team that cleans daily. I’ve donated clothing, left pamphlets and am a trident of 11th

To answer that qustion. They leavd something others. Get high and take off clothes.

Hello! My name is Danielle, I wanted to give out lunches to the homeless. I was wondering if I would be able to do that here? Or do you have any suggestions The lunches would contain 2 Turkey sandwiches A water, bag of chips, piece of fruit

Hi Danielle. St. John's usually except donation and then passes it out themselves usually the next day because they already have made out that days menu but they have let some people hand out lunches in the past. If you really want to reach the homeless go to the Ben Franklin Parkway and 18th-20th (Logan Circle) and walk around and pass out the lunches to the homeless. "Do Not" bring a table and set it up unless you have a premit to do it or the city will give you a $600 fine. (Almost forgot about that)There's 4 small parks and the Swan Fountain inside Logan Square and a lot of Homeless people. Friday and Wednesday are the best days to go because they have nobody feeding them on those days. TYSM Danielle from all the Homeless and God Bless You for helping the unfortunately. They need all the help they can get. Because the city really does nothing for them. I Know because my brother is homeless and I visit him and his friend all the time and I'm talking to him now.

Kayla Spruel | Oct 6, 2018
Marie Kauffman | Oct 6, 2018

I have donated food, clothing and shoes for the men in the past through a volunteer who has recently passed away. How is the best way to get these items to you?

If my NJHS team members wanted to know if we volunteer how many people would be able to be there at one time

Nakhia Sanders | Oct 5, 2020
Damon Cottman | Oct 5, 2020

For a meal we have about 7-8 volunteer spots it depends on how much we have to pass out.

I have my social security card and my Human Resources card. Will i be able to get a bed. And help getting my ID?

Ricky Obryan | Oct 6, 2019
Bruce Kennedy | Oct 6, 2019

No but you can get a bed at "Sunday Breakfast" about 2 blocks away without ID also they serve 3 meals a day. St. Johns is a lot harder to get a bed because it doesnt have many beds and its getting longer to get funding from the government for housing for those who are already there unfortunately. Good Luck on what you decide to do.

Have you had people from out of state seek shelter here? I'm from NJ, currently homeless, and prefer sleeping outdoors than staying in a shelter in Camden of all places.

John Rhogan | Dec 9, 2021
Val Plantic | Dec 9, 2021

Yes, there are plenty of out of state guys. No ID is needed. Just make sure you're there before 10 pm. That's when the doors for overnight shelter open up. You'll need something to lay on, as everyone sleeps on the floor. Good Luck, and God Bless.

You need to go in through intake on 806 n broad street or go to cherry street I think it's 1013 it's in the area down past the airplane sculpture. I believe you can request to go to Saint Johns but I'm not 100% sure. Hope this helped you out some.
