At ST, we believe everyone deserves their basic needs met: a warm meal, a safe place to rest & a caring community. Our mission is rooted in compassion, respect & service—values deeply connected to what Juneteenth calls us to reflect on. To honor the day, we served a special BBQ lunch to our clients
