St. Joseph Diner

We serve hundreds of hot meals each day to those experiencing hunger in our community. The Diner serves three meals a day, seven days a week. Breakfast and Lunch are open to the public with Dinner being reserved for our shelter clients.


FoodNet Food Bank

Through FoodNet, we provide 3,000 bags of pantry staples a month to those facing food insecurity throughout Acadiana. Sustaining this program costs about $7,000 in groceries each week.

 
 

Permanent Supportive Housing

We work hard to move our clients out of homelessness and into safe, stable housing as quickly as possible, starting with the most vulnerable and at-risk. Our caseworkers accompany these individuals through their journey, oftentimes until their passing.


Stella Maris Hygiene Center

Basic hygiene is something that is often taken for granted. At the Stella Maris center, we provide a place for those experiencing homelessness to use the restroom, take a shower, and wash their clothes. These simple services both maintain health and restore human dignity to those experiencing homelessness.
