Unfortunately, one of the refrigerators we use to support our residents recently broke down. While we still have the cold storage we need, our capacity is greatly reduced. With your donation, we can ensure our residents have the facilities they need!
Thank You!

As they say, all good things must come to an end. Anna's Abundant Blessings has been part of our Wednesdays for well over a year. Coming several Wednesdays a month to pass out free food to those living on the streets. Anna has decided to move closer to her grand babies. She is determined to find organizations like St. Francis Shelter Community and continue her mission to help feed those living on the streets. While we will miss her, we wish her all the best and hope her grand babies will enjoy getting quality time with this wonderful lady.

No Address Movie
We are excited to share that St. Francis Shelter Community has partnered with Robert Craig Films to use the power of film to inspire action on behalf of the homeless crisis in our communities through the No Address Movement!
Robert Craig Films is releasing its feature film, "No Address," in theaters February 28, 2025 and will additionally release a documentary, "Americans With No Address," a novelization of the screenplay, an interactive study guide, and a music album that will provide songs for the movie and radio distribution. Robert Craig Films has coined the phrase "The Big 5" to represent The Big 5 productions, and we are so excited to announce that we are a part of the Big 5 GIVEBACK!
The film is studded with Hollywood celebrities, such as William Baldwin, Ashanti, Xander Berkeley, Beverly D'Angelo, Lucas Jade Zumann, Patricia Velasquez, Isabella Ferreira, and Ty Pennington. "No Address" will vividly portray that homelessness could happen to anyone.

Thank you Tucson Family Volunteers!
Our youngest volunteers to date! A huge thanks to Tucson Family Volunteers for bringing and bagging dog food and rice! Tucson Family Volunteers cultivates the desire to volunteer in young adults. It was great to have them with us on Pantry day to see the good their donation of dog food and rice, bagged for our pantry patrons who need pet food (and rice for them). They bagged over 100 bags of dog food and 50 bags of rice!! Maybe one day we'll see them as adults offering to volunteer for one of our many volunteer opportunities.

Fr. Gregory Boyle, SJ Speaks at St. Francis Shelter
"We stand with the poor and the powerless and the voiceless…we stand with those whose dignity has been denied and those whose burdens are more than they can bear…we stand with the easily despised and the readily left out…we stand with the demonized and the disposable.”
