What Sts. Joachim and Ann Care Service does

Sts. Joachim and Ann Care Service (DBA "The Care Service") is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit social services organization founded in 1981 and headquartered in St. Charles, Missouri. It serves vulnerable individuals and families facing homelessness, housing instability, and food insecurity across St. Charles, Lincoln, and Warren Counties, reaching over 4,000 individuals annually through an integrated portfolio of programs: case management, affordable and transitional housing (in properties the organization owns and manages), financial housing assistance (rent, mortgage, utility payments, deposits, hotel vouchers), street outreach, and food pantry operations across three locations including a mobile unit serving food deserts. The organization's case management function serves as the unifying element, providing ongoing, evidence-based professional support intended to drive long-term self-sufficiency rather than one-time aid; reported 2024 outcomes include a 97% housing retention rate three months post-eviction-prevention assistance and a 90% one-year retention rate for families exiting the housing program to permanent housing.

The organization does not rely on proprietary technology—service delivery is conducted in person through fixed facilities, mobile outreach vans, and caseworker home visits. Revenue is generated entirely through philanthropic and grant channels rather than fees for service: individual donations (one-time, recurring, stock, and planned giving), corporate and event sponsorships (including $5,000 annual program sponsorships for Food Pantry, Street Outreach, Housing, and Adopt-A-Family), and government grants. Distribution is direct and regional; the organization operates with 11-50 paid staff supplemented by nearly 200 weekly volunteers contributing over 100,000 hours of service annually. Key governance and management include Executive Director Pam Struckhoff (since 2020), with Director of Operations Kathy Henderson (since 2008), Director of Finance Mary Reynolds (since 2012), Director of Programs Brittany Morgan (since 2020), and Director of Development Donna Tobin (since 2024).
