Lexie Wood is the executive director of St. John’s Ministries, which operates two seasonal overnight shelters along with two community-based resource centers, Micah Center and Wellspring. St. John’s Ministries serves adults in our community who are experiencing homelessness or facing housing instability with a desire to honor their dignity, restore hope and create lasting change. On Nov. 1, the organization will open the city’s first gender-specific, women’s single’s shelter. This new shelter provides 55 beds and is located in their newly remodeled building, alongside Wellspring.
