The Franciscan Food Center at St. Anthony’s Shrine was founded in October of 2008 by the Franciscan Friars working in partnership with the Greater Boston Food Bank. As the largest food center in downtown Boston, we serve a diverse population of over 25,000 people; many of whom are poverty-stricken, physically or mentally disabled, abused or simply families who would otherwise not have enough to eat. Our mission is to provide high-quality, nutritious food in a client-choice setting and create a community in an environment of dignity, compassion and respect. Only with your help can we continue to serve the thousands who come to us each year in desperate need.
Please, help us with your generosity to bring healing and compassion to our world which desperately needs more Franciscan Hearts! Take The Franciscan Challenge!
