ST. FRANCIS HOUSE AFFIRMS COMMITMENT TO SHELTER SERVICES AMIDST TEMPORARY PAUSE IN DAILY MEAL SERVICES
“While our commitment to serving those in need remains unwavering, we must make difficult decisions to ensure the sustainability of our core programs. Given the availability of alternative resources for day and meal services, we have made the careful decision to prioritize our shelter and support services for women and families with children experiencing homelessness, a population facing unique challenges and limited resources within our community.”

Executive Director
St. Francis House, a longstanding pillar of support for individuals and families with children experiencing homelessness, announces a temporary pause in its daily meal services beginning April 15, 2024, while reaffirming its commitment to providing shelter and support to vulnerable women and families with children. The organization stresses that this is just a brief pause in the daily meals served from 9am – 12pm daily to the community – all other shelter operations will remain the same.
