Franciscan Charities, Inc.

Franciscan Charities offers a warm, chef-prepared meal every Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday. We offer diapers and other family items each Tuesday. We have a free farm stand and when possible, clothing every Thursday. We need help during our morning prep shift from 9:30 AM- 11:30 AM on the days above to help package and prepare the meal. We need help on the above days to distribute the meals from 11:00 am-1:00PM. Our greatest need is on Thursdays from 9:30-1:00PM to help set up our free farm stand and distribute to our neighborhood. This volunteer opportunity is great for a big group of 10-15 people. We look forward to having you share in our wonderful community of volunteers and neighbors.

The mission of Franciscan Charities is to tend to the critical needs of the poor, provide tools to rise above poverty and support physical, emotional and spiritual healing.

Our clients represent the most vulnerable members of society: the working poor, the homeless, the disabled, the unemployed, the addicted, the abused, single mothers, children, and the elderly.

We believe in the dignity of a hot meal, the comfort of a safe space, and power of a kind word.
