St. Francis relies on the generosity of the community.
We invite you to share your time, talent, and treasure with this community and participate in the work that God is doing in this place. Financial gifts allow us to provide for our staff, to care for our building, and to offer our various ministries throughout the year.
By making a one-time or recurring monthly donation through the website, you participate in creating loving and generous environment in which we are all invited to grow in faith and love for God and neighbor. We invite to you give generously as you are able. All donations are tax-deductible. Make your gift below. Thanksgiving Outreach For many years we, the people of St. Francis, have joined together during the holiday season to minister to the families of children in our schools and elsewhere. This ministry gives us a wonderful opportunity to support and serve. In the past at Thanksgiving your St. Francis Outreach Ministry (formerly called MDE) has led this effort by gathering information from counselors and teachers in our elementary and middle schools about which families would most benefit from our support. It has been exhausting and exhilarating to ingather and purchase the supplies to make up a generous box of Thanksgiving food. These supplies are then packed and readied by many of you, then distributed by you to families. One of the pieces I always have enjoyed was the inclusion of flour and sugar, thinking of the Christmas treats that families could perhaps later create. We all know that this year’s pandemic is forcing us to take a different, safer, path. Our committee met, emailed and talked to our school counselors, and have come up with this year’s Thanksgiving Outreach plan. We will be serving about 40 families. We estimate that feeding a family of four costs about $50 and a family of five or more about $100. The total will be about $3500.00. Please donate your check – in any amount- by November 10, with “Thanksgiving Outreach” in the notes/memo line. Your contribution will make a difference for families struggling economically. Each family will receive a beautifully designed Thanksgiving card with a message from our church. When you share your contribution, please pray for the recipients. And as Christmas approaches and we start our ingathering for food and gift support, we will also be able to share first names and ages of the children in the families we are partnering with, allowing some further connection without breaching any confidentiality. Please join with us that so we, as St. Francis of Assisi Episcopal Church, can grow the kingdom of God by loving our neighbors.
