Programs and projects at St. Francis

Senior Center -- weekly at 10:30 a.m. Wednesdays

St. Francis-St. Vincent dePaul Society

The St. Vincent dePaul Society began offering coffee and donuts to whoever stopped by at 9:30, with the intention of meeting our neighbors, including those who live on the street. The program was expanded to give away sandwiches and fried chicken. Every Sunday morning members and friends of St. Francis prepare a bag lunch, and sometimes soup or other food for those in need. The hospitality starts at 8:45 AM.

St. Francis buys food from the San Franciso Food Bank and receives donations of food from members and others that is used for these hospitality meals. Persons interested in donating food may bring by contributions on Sunday mornings, or during the week between 8:30 AM and 5 PM. Food that is accepted is canned vegetables, canned fruit, tuna, canned meats, canned soups, stews, chili, peanut butter and cereal. We cannot accept glass containers or perishable food. Food that cannot be used at St. Francis for the Hospitality is donated to the San Francisco Food Bank.
