Monetary Donations

St. Francis House depends on monetary support from individual donors and community businesses in order to help the homeless and hungry in Alachua County. Donations are used for the guests and visitors of our emergency shelter and soup kitchen, as well as those that reside in our transitional housing. Without the generosity and support from you and other members of the community, we cannot make a difference in the lives of the homeless and hungry that come to us for help.

 

To make a donation by mail, please send checks payable to:

St. Francis House
PO Box 12491
Gainesville, FL 32604

 

Thank you!

Donations Fact List

As a non-profit organization with limited funds, St. Francis House depends on the generosity of the community to make a difference in the lives of the hungry and homeless who come to us for help. In-kind donations of food and supplies are always needed to assist our shelter guests as well as those in our transitional housing. However, very limited storage space at SFH presents the opportunity to refer certain donated items to other local non-profit organizations. The list below outlines the donations that we can accept here.
