At Father Joe's Villages® our mission is simple: to help people in need from all over America turn their lives around and regain independence. Each of Father Joe's Villages® provides "one-stop shopping" – comprehensive, essential care all under one roof. Programs such as education, job training, child care, medical and dental care and substance abuse counseling enable thousands of families and individuals to discover the confidence and the ability to succeed. Honoring the dignity of every child and adult encourages them to invest in their own future.

   From a small center handing out peanut butter sandwiches 50 years ago (long before Father Joe arrived), we have grown to a family of seven large "villages" in the Southwest. And we're still growing. Thanks to the support of our donors, volunteers and dedicated staff, as well as the determination of our clients, what began with a meal has evolved into a model program for serving the homeless. There is still much to do. We invite you to visit each of our villages to see our "one-stop shopping" approach. Join us in helping those in need achieve success.
