ST FRANCIS CENTER OF REDWOOD CITY

Since 1986, SFC has provided families with a hospitable place to receive nutritious food and needed clothing. SFC is a “place of miracles”; it was founded to provide food, clothing, and other essential services for “working poor” families who, though working at one and sometimes two low paying jobs, find it very difficult to pay both the exorbitant rental costs and provide basic necessities for their families. We strive to provide all services keeping forefront in our minds and actions our motto: “compassion not judgment." Since our inception, we have expanded our basic services to include affordable housing, ESL/GED program, a small school, two community gardens, a children's community library, a laundry and shower, and an after-school youth & family center.
