Organizations Filed Purposes:
THE SAINT FRANCIS THRIFT STORE IS A MATERIAL ASSISTANCE MINISTRY. THIS ASSISTANCE IS GIVEN IN TWO FORMS. OUR DIRECT MINISTRY IS AN "EMERGENCY ASSISTANCE" PROGRAM. WE PROVIDE WITHOUT CHARGE FOOD AND CLOTHING TO PEOPLE IN CRISIS SITUATIONS WHO ARE REFERRED TO US THROUGH A PASTORAL REFERRAL SYSTEM OR BY THE RED CROSS. OUR INDIRECT MINISTRY SERVES THE POOR. FOR THOSE SUFFERING FROM LIMITED RESOURCES, WE PROVIDE AN OPPORTUNITY TO PURCHASE BASIC HUMAN NEEDS AT A FRACTION OF THEIR NORMAL RETAIL.
THE FRIENDS OF SAINT FRANCIS IS A CHRISTIAN ORGANIZATION CREATED TO PROMOTE THE COMPASSION OF JESUS CHRIST FOR ALL OF GOD'S CREATION. WE ARE NON-PROFIT AND NON-DENOMINATIONAL. OUR ORIGINAL MISSION WAS TO PROMOTE THE HUMANE TREATMENT OF ANIMALS. TODAY, OUR MISSION IS NOW THREE-FOLD: 1) TO EVANGELIZE THE VALUES OF SAINT FRANCIS OF ASSISI. OUR EVANGELIZATION PROGRAM CONSISTS OF SHARING THE VALUES OF SAINT FRANCIS WITH THE COMMUNITY THAT WE SERVE. IN ADDITION WE PROMOTE A SECULAR CONCEPT CALLED "VOLUNTARY SIMPLICITY" WHICH ADVOCATES A NON-MATERIALISTIC WAY OF LIFE AND A RESPECT FOR THE ENVIRONMENT. 2) TO PROMOTE ANIMAL WELFARE. OUR ANIMAL WELFARE PROGRAM PROMOTES THE HUMANE TREATMENT OF ANIMALS. IN ADDITION, WE HELP THE POOR WHO CANNOT AFFORD VETERINARIAN SERVICES OR FOOD FOR THEIR PETS. 3) TO PROVIDE MATERIAL ASSISTANCE FOR THE POOR. OUR MATERIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM PROVIDES AN OPPORTUNITY FOR LOW INCOME FAMILIES TO PURCHASE MATERIAL NEEDS AT A FRACTION OF THEIR NORMAL COST.
STORES THAT PROVIDE CLOTHING AND HOUSEHOLD GOODS TO LOW INCOME FAMILIES AT A FRACTION OF THEIR NORMAL COST.
