Founded In 2007
St. John’s Ministries began as a grassroots shelter effort in downtown Green Bay after a letter from the Catholic Archdiocese authorized a homeless shelter at the St. John site in 2007. Over the years, it expanded services with additional shelters, daytime resource centers, the Micah Center, and Wellspring. Today the organization continues to respond to community needs with compassion—providing shelter, meals, case management, and resources tailored to support individuals on their path to stability and self-sufficiency.
