You can help St. John of God Community Services bring hope and support to individuals and families in our community by donating much-needed items to our food pantry. Your generosity helps ensure that those facing food insecurity have access to essential resources during times of need.
To make giving easy, we have created an Amazon Wish List, where items can be purchased and shipped directly to our pantry. Every donation makes a meaningful difference and helps us continue our mission of caring for the whole person with dignity and compassion.
In the words of our founder, Saint John of God, “Do good for yourself by doing good for others.” Thank you for your kindness, support, and commitment to serving our community.

FOOD PANTRY/MOBILE FOOD PANTRY
Our Food Pantry is open year-round to support members of the St. John of God Community Services family and anyone in the community who may need assistance. Our Mobile Food Pantry helps us expand our reach by bringing fresh produce directly to underserved communities. We also collaborate with community partners and local farms to host events and make healthy food more accessible to everyone.
HOME AND HOSPITAL VISITATION
We visit, upon request, all those who are recovering at home or in the hospital. We strive to provide a listening ear, an encouraging word and a presence of understanding. Visitation is open to all co-workers, students, adults, families and friends.
FAMILY SUPPORT
In any situation that arises within our families we serve and our co-workers, we participate in providing those supports that will alleviate a situation.
EMERGENCY FUND
The emergency fund, which has been created at the request of co-workers, serves to assist our co-workers, families, students, and those we serve, financially and/or with other resources that can alleviate an immediate urgent need.
FUNERAL PREPARATION AND SERVICES
Upon the death of a student, client, co-worker's family or co-worker, we give support in planning and/or conducting services of all faiths.
COMPASSIONATE PRESENCE
We always strive to be a compassionate presence to all those who enter our campus. It is the example of our founder, Saint John of God, that teaches us and empowers us to "Do Good."
