Give Warmth — Hoodie Drive

Donate NEW hoodies, especially sizes L–XXL. We are also accepting NEW winter scarves, hats, and gloves to help keep our neighbors warm throughout the winter.

Donations may be dropped off at the parish office in the clearly marked Hoodie Drive collection bins.

Help Provide a Holiday Feast

Help us serve a warm and festive holiday meal to our less fortunate brothers and sisters. You can donate non-perishable food items, volunteer to help serve, or make a financial contribution toward food and kitchen supplies.

Make a Financial Donation

Your financial support will help us purchase winter clothing, food, and other essential supplies needed for our Holiday Outreach. Every contribution, large or small, makes a difference. Please make your gift with form below.

Donation Deadline

Please drop off all physical clothing and food donations at the parish office by Saturday, November 21, so we have enough time to prepare for the outreach.

Thank you for helping us share the warmth, generosity, and spirit of St. Francis with our neighbors this holiday season.

In the spirit of St. Francis, all are welcome—and all are called to care for one another.

We invite all parishioners and friends to consider donating a pint of blood in order to save another person’s life.

On Sunday, November 22 from 9 am to 3 pm, our parish will partner with the New York Blood Center for a major blood donor drive in San Damiano Hall. There is a critical blood shortage in New York City and many patients awaiting surgeries or transplants are in dire need of blood donor donations. The New York Blood Center needs at least 40 pints of blood for this blood donor drive. Please ask family members, friends, co-workers and anyone willing to offer a pint of blood.

Advance registration is required and please complete the initial registration form below or see Father Brian in-person who will fill out your registration form. Please be patient because each donor is required to fill out a questionnaire before donating blood. Some of the questions are personal but need to be asked in order to have healthy blood donations.

Again, please be patient and understanding regarding the questionnaire. For more information,  please call Father Brian at 212-736-8500 ext. 232 or email him at bjordan@stfrancisnyc.org.
