For over 50 years, SJH has provided crucial and life-sustaining services with dignity, respect, and compassion. Each weekday, this outreach ministry provides a nutritious and hot noon meal for approximately 300 men, as well as case management services, on-site nursing services, daily showers, and mailroom services for over 1,000 men.
