Everyone has something to give.
We are not defined by programs. We are defined by people — those who need help, and those who choose to help. Every dollar goes toward practical needs: food assistance, outreach supplies, and direct community support. There is no paid staff and no administrative layer between your gift and the work.
What we do
Simple, direct, and carried out by volunteers.
Serve the poor
Comfort the lonely
Feed the hungry
Care for the environment
Why Francis
Born into wealth in Assisi in 1181, Francis could have spent his life pursuing status and comfort. He chose humility instead. He walked away from his inheritance, embraced the poor he had once passed by, cared for the sick, and insisted that every person carries dignity and worth.
More than eight hundred years later, the idea still holds: what we possess matters far less than what we give. His example is the reason this foundation exists, and it shapes how we work — quietly, person to person, without ceremony.
Start by doing what is necessary, then what is possible, and soon you are doing the impossible.
St. Francis of Assisi
