Christmas BasketsEvery year St. Francis of Assisi hosts a Christmas Assistance Program where we help supplement Christmas for approximately 80 families. Every family that we serve receives a basket of food. Families with children (ages 15 & under) receive a gift card to purchase gifts and a clothing item for each child (socks or hat/gloves). Seniors receive a small gift card as well. Donations are currently being accepted to gather items for our baskets this year.If you would like to request a Christmas Basket

Community Volunteer Opportunities
Little Bagged Lunch Mission
Every third Monday of the month, the Social Justice Committee hosts their Little Bagged Lunch Mission to support Beans & Bread and Helping Up Mission. Volunteers are needed to make sandwiches and pack bagged lunches for committee members to deliver Tuesday morning. All lunches are distributed in Baltimore to those experiencing food insecurity. Sandwich making is every third Monday of the month in Burke Hall from 6:30 pm - 8 pm.
If you would like to donate materials, please either bring them with you on the sandwich making days or drop them off in the rectory office.
If you would like to donate monetarily, $10 covers the cost to make 10 lunches. Our Venmo handle is @sfabalt. Please put your name and “Sandwich making” in the caption.
