Nourish

Food Ministry

With the Food Ministry we nourish our bodies when we receive food from our Indoor Choice Pantry (ICP) and Pantry on the Go (POG). We nourish our souls when we volunteer our time to serve the Food Ministry programs. All are welcome to receive food and volunteer with the Food Ministry! Reach out to the Food Ministry team with any questions about receiving food or volunteering.

Welcome Table Wednesday Dinners

With Welcome Table Wednesday (WTW) dinners we nourish our bodies with a free, healthy, weekly meal during the school year. We nourish our souls when we gather in bilingual community and work together to prepare and serve this communal meal. Reach out to the Welcome Table Wednesday team to learn more!

Green Team

With the Green Team we nourish our bodies when we eat tomatoes, raspberries, honey and more grown right here on the grounds of St. Francis! We nourish our souls when we tend the gardens and apiary and share the bounty with our community! All are welcome to be fed by and serve on the Green Team! Reach out to the Green Team to learn more!
