Our Story and Legacy of Service
The Sovereign Military Hospitaller Knights of the Imperial Orders trace our commitment to service back centuries. While our methods have modernized, our foundational vow remains the same: **to protect and care for the vulnerable.**
Today, that mission translates into providing essential services—from hot meals to safe harbor—right here in our local communities. We uphold the knightly values of **honor, duty, and compassion** by ensuring dignity for every person we serve.
