Sister José Women's Center

Yesterday was a special day at Sister José Women’s Center as we held our first-ever staff retreat! 💗

It was powerful to step away from our day-to-day responsibilities and come together as one team, united by one mission: helping women create a path forward by offering a safe, nurturing sanctuary where their needs are met with respect, dignity, and compassion.

The day was filled with teamwork, collaboration, reflection, laughter, and plenty of fun. Most importantly, it gave us the opportunity to connect with one another and recognize that, no matter our individual roles, each of us plays an important part in the work we do and the lives we touch every day.

We shared ideas, learned from one another, celebrated all that we accomplish as a team, and even enjoyed a sound bath as a special afternoon treat—a wonderful opportunity to relax, recharge, and simply be present together. ✨

This day would not have been possible without our amazing Board of Directors and incredible volunteers, who stepped in and ran the Center so our entire staff could participate. What an incredible example of the community that surrounds Sister José and believes in our mission. We are so grateful for each of you! 💕

We returned to the Center feeling connected, energized, and reminded of the strength of our team and the importance of the work we do together.

One team. One mission. One incredible community. 💗

Sister José Women's Center is thrilled to welcome shelter leaders, advocates, service providers, and changemakers from across the country as they come together to share ideas and learn from one another.

The Annual Conference includes over 50 presentations and breakout sessions, exciting keynote speakers, and their very own workshopping resource center to connect shelters and safe haven programs to resources tailored to their needs.

Hundreds of shelter leaders and other experts, national allies and partners, as well as key government officials and stakeholders, will attend as we aim to advance the status of women, children, youth and families experiencing homelessness across the country and the shelters and safe havens that serve them.

Last night, we were honored to welcome Governor Katie Hobbs and members of her team to Sister José Women's Center as they volunteered during our Supper Club.

Together, they helped prepare and serve a wonderful meal for the women we are privileged to serve. Our guests were incredibly grateful for the delicious dinner, warm conversations, and kindness shown throughout the evening.

A sincere thank you to Governor Katie Hobbs and her team for spending the evening with us and supporting this important program. We would also like to thank our Board Members who joined us, and a very special thank you to our founder, Jean Fedigan, for welcoming Governor Hobbs and providing a tour of our Center.

Supper Club is one of our most meaningful volunteer opportunities, and we are always looking for individuals and groups to help prepare and serve dinner. Sharing a meal is about so much more than food, it provides connection, dignity, and a sense of community for women experiencing homelessness.

If you'd like to volunteer with a future Supper Club, we'd love to have you join us. Visit sisterjose.org/volunteer to learn more.

💗 Thank you to everyone who helps make evenings like this possible.
