A note from our
Board Chair & Senior Leadership
"This past year marked a significant milestone for Fontbonne Ministries: 25 years of walking alongside people in our community."
Since our founding, Fontbonne has responded to need as it appears, listening carefully, adapting thoughtfully, and remaining rooted in the values that first guided the Sisters of St. Joseph to this work.
Rising housing costs, food insecurity, chronic health challenges, and social isolation continue to shape daily life for many in our city. In response, Fontbonne's programs meet people where they are, offering not only services, but consistency, respect, and human connection.
— Joan Breech, Director and Board Chair
