Service at the St. Francis House

As our service project on 9/11 Day of Service and Remembrance, five Sioux Falls VISTAs volunteered at the St. Francis House.

Daniel Prendable, Amy Majeres, Tami Francis, Brian Cochran, and I served dinner and stayed for fellowship with the folks of the St. Francis House. Both Brian and Tami brought a friend to serve with us, Aliyah and Gus.

The St. Francis House is a homeless shelter located on the east side of Sioux Falls, at 1301 East Austin Street. Its mission is to offer a safe place and meals for the homeless in the community. The St. Francis House also offers its guests a chance to start and maintain a savings account.

The House is a private nonprofit organization that relies heavily (if not completely) on donations. So, check out their wishlist or donate your time to help out!

I know that I had a great time at the St. Francis House, and I think my fellow VISTAs did too! Thank you, St. Francis House, for a great experience!
