A Little About Us
San Juan Catholic Charities is a non-profit organization in San Juan County. We provide various services and programs for any San Juan County resident in need of assistance, regardless of race, religion, or nationality. Proof of San Juan County residency and an ID must be brought into our office to receive our program services, except for our Drop-In Program, which requires nothing.
Drop-In Center
The drop-in center provides a place for homeless individuals to stay during morning hours from 7:00 AM - 9:30 AM on weekdays. Coffee, food, and a place to rest with restroom facilities are provided. A hot meal is also served with commodities donated by area churches and local social services agencies. No alcohol is permitted on the premises, and anyone bringing it into the facility will be asked to leave.
