Serving The Hungry
For He satisfies the thirsty and fills the hungry with good things. - Psalm 107:9
Do you have a heart for serving the hungry, alleviating hunger, and nourishing souls? St. Francis provides on-going and/or intermittent opportunities to serve those in need, either in a coordinated effort or on your own.
(If no opportunities are shown below, check back again as new opportunities are made available throughout the year.)
