St. Francis Center of Redwood City

St. Francis Center is a nonprofit organization whose focus is on helping families in need in the Redwood City area and attempts to assist such families in whatever ways will allow them to live in dignity and become self-supporting members of the community. Early each workday morning, rain or shine, women from throughout the Redwood City and Menlo Park areas gather at the St. Francis Center. They come for food, clothing and friendship. Dozens of dedicated volunteers make the St. Francis Center a place of welcome by packing grocery bags with care. Two bags of take-home food for each client family contain all of the basic food groups. Monitored by an automated photo ID check-in system, the St. Francis Center provides groceries for an average of 2,600 people each month.
