Grounded in the spirit of St. Francis of Assisi, we the staff, volunteers, and Board of Directors of St. Francis House work as a community to provide for the poor and homeless of Boston:
- A safe, caring, respectful and dignified refuge in downtown Boston which offers the basic services of food, shelter, clothing, medical care, mental health and substance abuse counseling to all who enter our doors
- Educational and rehabilitative services such as counseling for obtaining employment and housing in order to discover and develop their strengths, talents, interests and goals to reintegrate their lives in the community
St. Francis House relies heavily on volunteers every day of the year. From working in our kitchen, art room, or clothing distribution center to tutoring guests and leading activity groups, more than 300 adults volunteer their time each year, donating some 24,000 hours of service. Join them in ensuring the smooth operations of our day shelter and the quality of our services for Boston's poor and homeless. Contact our Volunteer Coordinator for a list of opportunities and an application.
