HELP US REACH OUR $20,000 GOAL

This summer, when the heat of the sidewalk is brutal, and an ice-cold drink would mean so much, remember that your kindness and your gift can help the St. Francis Breadline provide a sandwich, a piece of cake and a cool drink to women, men and families that wait on line in the heat to receive it. And because many of the people on the Breadline are veterans, the simple meal that you help us provide demonstrates the great gratitude you have for them and for their service to our country. Please help us help the hundreds of homeless children, women and men who come walking down the sidewalk to receive a simple meal and a cool drink. These will be given in your name and with your blessing.

$5 Give A Meal To Heal 

What if your life depended on a diet of sliced cheese, deli meat and white bread? For many people who walk our breadline, that is the reality. For just $5.00 you can give a meal and provide a man, woman or child in need with what might be their only food of the day.  

$45 Give A Bag of Groceries

Imagine not having access to fresh food. For many that is a reality.  That is why the Friars founded Franciscans Deliver,  a weekly grocery delivery service which is part of the St. Francis Breadline. This service delivers fresh produce to the poor, elderly, homebound and blind.

$155 Give A Week of Meals

Help us continue the work we've been doing on the St. Francis Breadline for over 86 years: feeding the hungry and showing mercy to all we meet in the spirit of St. Francis. We would not be able to bring the light of Christ to so many without your care and financial support.

 

FRANCISCANS DELIVER

Franciscans Deliver is a ministry of service to the poor, elderly, shut-ins, and anyone who has difficulty accessing services in our neighborhood. Every week our members choose which grocery items they want, and then our volunteers pack and deliver their order to their front door. We believe that client choice—members choosing the items they want—enhances a person’s dignity while it addresses individual preferences for food. Our food is top-quality and we ensure that our members are offered meats, cereals, fresh produce, eggs, milk, coffee, and dessert every week. But the most important thing this great team of volunteers delivers is the joyful spirit of St. Francis.

A cup of cold water may contain a sea of warm love.

For most of us, a cup of cold water is no big deal. If we’re thirsty, we go to the faucet and fill a glass with water. If we want it cold, we get some ice from the freezer. It’s not much to most of us. We don’t even think about it. It’s no big deal. But for many of our homeless children, women and men, a cold glass of water on a blistering hot day is a rare treat. 

With your constant generosity and care to St. Francis Breadline, and our homeless, you can help us offer them a cool drink and a sandwich, sometimes their only meal of the day. Please help us to continue bringing some comfort and cool refreshment to those whose home is a hot sidewalk and a hard concrete bed. Your gift can help us make the simplest gesture - a cool drink on a blistering day - seems like the greatest gift anyone can give. Thank you for your summer gift of refreshing generosity and care.
