At Franciscan Outreach, we know the power of community. The generosity of individuals, congregations, and corporations who share their time, talents, and resources helps us provide dignity, hope, and opportunity to people experiencing homelessness.
We offer a variety of ways to get involved, and we’ll work with you to create a volunteer experience that aligns with your interests, skills, and goals.
Thank you for your interest in volunteering with us. We are grateful that you want to support our guests and community. Tell us a little about your group and interests, and our team will follow up to explore a meaningful project and available dates. Please wait for written confirmation before arriving for an activity or delivery.
