Do you want to provide someone a “hand up in life, instead of a hand out”? Do you believe in giving people another chance? Do you believe no one should go hungry? Each year we advocate for these issues through Hunger and Homelessness Awareness Week. This is an annual program where people come together across the city to draw attention to the problems of hunger and homelessness.

Please join in raising awareness by providing a new or gently used backpack filled with 15# of canned goods, thermals, socks, etc. Many St. Francis House guests arrive with just a backpack filled with all their possessions, with many not having proper shoes to wear. So, for just one day, let’s walk a mile in their shoes.
