Franciscan Center, Inc.

Serves as a "one-stop shop" for families and individuals in crisis, providing a broad range of programs and services designed to help them achieve stability and build self-sufficient lives.

The Franciscan Center could not provide critical services to people in need without the dedicated and generous support of our volunteers, who share their time and talent in service to the poor and hungry citizens of Baltimore! A huge thank you to all who have served and continue to serve the Franciscan Center. The following weekly volunteer opportunities are available:

- Daily Lunch Program (Mon-Fri 9:30am-1:30pm)
Welcome guests, serve meals, assemble desserts, prepare drinks, assist in cleanup, and share conversation

Welcome guests, serve meals, assemble desserts, prepare drinks, assist in cleanup, and share conversation

- Food Distribution Events (Second Saturday of the month, every other month. Two shifts: 8:30am-1pm)
