From St. John’s website: Due to current government restrictions, and the health concerns we have for our clients and staff, The Friendship Center will be open only to those in need of bathroom, shower, pantry food, mail or emergencies. Individuals who have someplace else to go (their own residences) will not be allowed to enter.

People staying at the shelter can use the Friendship Center to obtain essential needs, but after these needs are met, they will then be asked to go back to their room or go outside.
