“Coffee has the effect of making the chaplain’s space a nice place to hang out.
It is in these moments that God and I do our best work, I believe:
in casual conversation with no specific agenda
and before the burden someone is carrying has erupted into real trouble.”

—Chaplain Pete St. Martin, in Afghanistan, 2008

This is a temporary website we setup because so many people were asking how to help.

We’re in the process of setting up a new website that will make it easy for you to donate online, join our community and volunteer. There will also be a lot more info, especially photos and stories people are sending us from places like Iraq, Afghanistan, and even Navy ships.

The best way to help until then is to send a check to:

First Congregational Church
23 South Main Street
Wallingford, CT 06492

Make the check out to "First Congregational Church" and write "Holy Joe's Cafe" in the memo section. Once we receive your check we will send you a letter that you can use as a receipt for your donation.

If you’d like to know when we launch the new site, fill out this form and we'll email you then!

Thank you so much for your interest in Holy Joe's!
