ST. FRANCIS CENTER OF REDWOOD CITY, CA
Since 1986, the St. Francis Center of Redwood City has been a “place of miracles.” The Center was founded to provide food, clothing, and other essential services for hardworking, impoverished families who work at one and sometimes two low-paying jobs yet find it very difficult to pay exorbitant rental costs and provide basic necessities for their families. Since our inception, we have expanded our essential services to include those we hope will help our families move from dependency to interdependency. We strive to provide these services while keeping our motto, “compassion, not judgment,” at the forefront of our minds and actions.
A MESSAGE FROM KATE!
“As we welcome back students and embrace the new school year, I am invigorated by the unity and compassion that defines our community.”
– Kate Young, Executive Director of St. Francis Center
