ABOUT US
St. Francis Center Los Angeles
Since 1972, St. Francis Center has provided relief and support to homeless and extremely low-income individuals and families in Los Angeles. Much more than a soup kitchen or a food pantry, we offer a unique range of services to sustain and empower those in need and engaging volunteer opportunities in Los Angeles. Welcoming all with joy, dignity, and compassion, we dedicate ourselves every day to Serving Hope in our community.
OUR PROGRAMS
How Can We Help You?
St. Francis Centerโs comprehensive programs improve the health and stability of our surrounding community, which is amongst the most impoverished in Los Angeles. Through our hunger-relief and comprehensive program offerings, we aim to provide our guests with additional tools to improve their lives beyond the immediate crisis intervention.
Family Well Being
Our pantry program provides extremely low-income families, individuals, seniors, and students with fresh, nutritious groceries weekly. Guests enrolled in the pantry program can sign up for our Tuesday Diaper program, summer camps, holiday programs, and pantry delivery service.
Youth Programs
Our youth summer camp provides youth from our pantry program families fun and meaningful summer that encourages creativity and personal growth, while developing new skills.
Homeless Well Being
Our breakfast program provides unhoused guests with warm, nutritious meals and sack lunches six days a week. We also offer health and hygiene services that include showers, clean clothing, and laundry.
Resource Services
SFCโs Resource Services team provides resources that can assist with health and human service needs. Our resource team helps introduce individuals and families to our supportive services that will help them on their path to stability.
