Welcome Home Circle

Join the Welcome Home Circle
Help sustain housing, healing, and hope — month after month.

The Welcome Home Circle is a community of committed supporters who walk alongside our clients as they rebuild their lives after incarceration. As a member, you’re partnering with CJM to help returning clients access housing, care, and hope.
With giving levels starting at just $16 per month, you can choose a role that reflects your heart for second chances and your commitment to a stronger, more compassionate St. Louis.

Why Join the Welcome Home Circle?
Because everyone deserves a place to land — and people who walk with them.
CJM has supported thousands of individuals as they reenter the community after incarceration. Our housing, case management, behavioral health services, and community partnerships are all designed to help people rebuild their lives with dignity. Your ongoing support makes this work possible — not just today, but every day.
You’re not just giving. You’re welcoming someone home.
