Serving the Needs of the Community Since 1974
St. Francis House has been serving the needs of our community, all free of charge!
We exist to improve the lives of those in need. We do this by offering the following services and programs:
Last year we had over 750 individuals and families register and shop at the Clothing Bank for the first time.
In 2019, St. Francis House served 1,116 low-income students with a backpack full of grade-appropriate school supplies and clothing for school.
Meals served to our guests last year.
