How to Help
St. Joseph's Villa is a place of triumph and success. We succeed in changing the stories of the more than 500 children and families we serve every day. When we first meet our clients, they are mostly living in states of crisis and survival. We see children who have nothing to eat, families that have no shelter and youth who are told they have no future.
Then we change their story. We provide programs which educate at-risk youth and provide pathways to success. We care for children with profound developmental disabilities. We provide a safe and nurturing home for women and their families as they rise above homelessness and work towards independence. We help people manage their behaviors and develop plans to achieve more than they ever dreamed.
In fact, YOU change their story. YOU make the difference. Please read below
to learn how your support can make a difference. To learn more about our
programs and supporters, please review our 2012 Annual Report.
The St. Joseph's Villa Annual Fund
Becoming an Annual Fund donor is the first step towards making a real difference in the lives of our children and their families.
The St. Joseph's Villa Annual Fund supports each child and each family that steps onto the Villa's campus. Without this unrestricted support for our programs, we could not succeed in our mission to brighten the futures of those individuals we serve.

Special Gifts
Donors interested in supporting a particular program may designate their support accordingly. Special gifts are by their nature varied in purpose, and the donor’s desired result can best be achieved through prior conversation with a program director and the development office.
