Saint Francis House

Overview:
Saint Francis House operates as a food pantry providing food assistance to individuals and families in need. The organization distributes food directly to clients and aims to ensure that recipients receive a generous amount of food on a weekly basis, rather than limiting visits to once per month.

• Weekly Food Distribution: Clients can receive food once per week, with no need to wait for monthly visits. The distribution takes place on the porch, which is covered to protect from inclement weather.
• Walk-In Service: No appointment is necessary; clients may walk in during operating hours to receive assistance.

Eligibility Requirements:

• Residency: Must be a Virginia resident.
• Identification: No form of ID is required to receive food assistance.

Service Area:

• Primarily serves Roanoke City, but any Virginia resident is eligible for assistance.

Additional Information:

• Volunteering: Volunteers are needed to support pantry operations. Interested individuals are encouraged to contact the organization for more information about volunteering opportunities.
• Donations: The organization accepts donations and encourages community members to reach out for details on how to contribute.

Access and Operations:

• Food is distributed on the porch, no longer curbside, to ensure accessibility regardless of weather conditions.
