Community Engagement
Food Connection
RESCUES surplus chef-prepared food, REPACKS into meals, REDISTRIBUTES into communities which REDUCES food waste while easing hunger.
A Franciscan Justice Circle is a community of spiritually rooted, justice-minded people who come together to:
Reflect on the intersection of faith, justice, and creation care
Share opportunities for service and advocacy in our local community
Support one another in living out compassionate, Franciscan-inspired values in everyday life
This new Circle is intended to be ecumenical and welcoming to people of all faith backgrounds (and those simply curious). There is no requirement to be Franciscan or even Christian — we just ask for an openness to conversation, reflection, and action grounded in love, humility, and justice..
Bountiful Bowls
Feeding Body & Soul. We collaborate with local artists, community members, and non-profit organizations to host Bountiful Bowls. Each annual gathering is a chance to raise community, raise funds, raise awareness, and raise action to be part of the sacred work of loving this world.
