About
Jeremiahs Inn was founded in 1982 by Deacon John Egan and a group of folks who wanted to do something to help homeless men in Worcester. He started a scattered site shelter for homeless men with an apartment on West Street and then expanded to other places. When the property finally went up for sale in 1986, John was able to enlist the aid of Mark Ungerer, CEO of Flexcon, his friend Jim Coghlin, and other business people to raise money to purchase the building.
