What a strike of a night! 🎳✨ Our annual Staff Appreciation event at Kings Dining & Entertainment was a fantastic opportunity to celebrate the incredible team behind St. Francis House. For the third year in a row, staff came together for bowling, delicious bites, friendly competition, and plenty of team spirit.

Every day, our staff show up with compassion, dedication, and a commitment to serving our guests. This event is one small way to recognize all they do throughout the year.

Thank you to our amazing team for making St. Francis House such a special place, and to Kings for helping us celebrate another memorable year!

Celebrating the people behind the mission! At our annual Founders Society event, we had the privilege of welcoming supporters into our newly renovated shelter space and guiding them through the reimagined facility their generosity helped bring to life.

The evening offered an opportunity to showcase how these transformed spaces support dignity, connection, and pathways toward stability for the nearly 10,000 adults who access services at St. Francis House each year.

At the end of May, we came together for our annual Women’s Day event — a day centered on community care, and support for the women we serve. The celebration featured a delicious brunch, nail painting, a self-care spa room, shopping in our clothing boutique, music, karaoke, and more, creating a welcoming space for connection, relaxation, and joy.

We’re proud to share that, thanks to the generosity of our community, we raised nearly 🌟 $3,500 🌟 through donated items and financial support to make this special day possible. Thank you to every donor, volunteer, and supporter who helped make this event possible and reminded our female guests that they are seen, valued, and celebrated.
