St. Francis House

This Memorial Day, we remember and honor the individuals who lost their lives in service to our country. Wishing all a meaningful day of reflection and remembrance.

We’re incredibly grateful to @Gr8BosFoodBank for their generous donation of brand-new kitchen appliances to furnish our renovated kitchen. This support helps us strengthen one of the most essential parts of our day shelter: providing nourishing meals and welcoming spaces for guests experiencing homelessness and food insecurity. Thank you, GBFB, for helping us serve with dignity and care. 💙

💜 Our annual Women’s Day event is just around the corner, and we’re gearing up for a meaningful celebration honoring the women in our community! YOU can help us make this day special by donating to our Amazon wish list or contribution page: 🌸 bit.ly/4nyRdo6 🌸 bit.ly/4djtGnQ

Thank you to Mayor Michelle Wu and all who joined St. Francis House today/last night to celebrate the completion of our 24-month, $29M renovation at 39 Boylston Street.

This Easter, we’re celebrating hope, new beginnings, and the power of community. Wishing all who celebrate a day filled with joy and renewal 💛🐣
