| Mission Statement |
The St. Francis Catholic Kitchen and Jesus Mary Joseph Home mission in Santa Cruz is an expression of the teachings of St.Francis of Assisi, graciously providing food, clothing, shelter, and new opportunities to those in need, with dignity and love. |
| Volunteer Duties |
Various Kitchen tasks: Prep, servinc, clean-up, as needed. At the soup kitchen, we aim to treat every guest with compassion, dignity, and respect. Volunteers quickly learn and are well aware that being homeless or on the streets is a serious challenge. When volunteering to serve the needy, smiles, calm voices, good manners, and kind words go a long way. Many volunteers have been with St Francis for several years, or in some cases, for decades. The St Francis mission would be impossible to carry out without these dedicated volunteers. A crew of 15 is needed at the soup kitchen for every meal. |
