Parents facing eviction or homelessness

A mother who had no one to care for her kids when sudden illness required surgery

Children whose parents are incarcerated or going through drug rehabilitation

Mount Olive collects travel size toiletries all year for the Shelter. Please remember them during your travels. The donation box is in the Fellowship Hall.
St. John's is located in Sacramento. St. John's is for the woman who wants to make the leap. Who will fight the pervasive influence of homelessness, poverty, and abuse. Who will make an empowered decision to rise up and beome a productive community member. Who understands unequivocally, that the decision to create a better life--for herself and for her family--rests entirely on her.
