For 30 years, Saint John’s has been supporting homeless mothers along their journey from dependence to self-sustainability. The Tea is a great way for you to be involved in, and introduce others to, this one of a kind program. Saint John’s 18-month continuum of care provides mothers with the education, supportive services and employment training they need to lead successful, independent lives and become the best women and mothers they can, and want to, be.
Enjoy an afternoon of fine tea, delicious food and fabulous friends, as we honor our 2016 community Mother of the Year, Susan Savage, CEO, Sacramento River Cats, our 2016 Saint John’s Mother of the Year, Alicia Portillo, and all prior year honorees.
