FAQ
Services and Resources
We help the homeless and those at-risk in Green Bay with shelter and resources to get back to self-sufficiency.
St. John’s Ministries serves adult (18 and older) men and women. We are a seasonal, emergency shelter of last resort, meaning we are the last stop for individuals before an individual has to sleep on the street in the harsh winter elements.
Individuals seeking shelter are asked to call 920-436-9344 for more information about check-in times and what items are allowed in shelter. Those who are homeless or at-risk have the ability to utilize our daytime resource centers (the Micah Center and Wellspring) for services and programming. Each daytime resource center has full-time case managers, a computer lab and support groups. The Micah Center also has on-site medical and mental health/AODA services.
The Micah Center and Wellspring each have a computer lab for those needing to use the internet, along with a variety of programming and classes. Those who are homeless or at-risk can take a class on Positive Choices | Sobriety Support | Relationship Building | Housing & Budgeting | No More Excuses | Art Therapy | Foodwise | RentSmart | Job Readiness | Ted Talks | Service Opportunities and more.
There are also five full-time case managers on staff to assist individuals in goal setting and breaking down barriers. The Micah Center also offers on-site medical and mental health/AODA treatment. The Joseph Project, a faith-based, four-day intensive job employment training program is offered for anyone at the Micah Center.
St. John’s Ministries works closely with other like-minded non-profits, along with government agencies to guide adults to the resources they need if St. John’s doesn’t offer them.
Giving and Donations
St. John’s Ministries is a 501(c)3 non-profit and is fully funded by the community through monetary donations and donations of food and items.
