Serving the Homeless and Hungry in Gainesville Since 1980

The St. Francis House homeless shelter and soup kitchen in Gainesville, Florida provides emergency food, temporary shelter, and related support services in a safe, secure environment for people in Alachua County who, for whatever reason, find themselves homeless and hungry.

Our staff and volunteers introduce guests to many community resources available to resolve problems underlying their crisis.

St. Francis House provides these services in a supportive environment where people can begin to manage their problems effectively and re-establish themselves as productive members of the community.
Please contact us if you need our services or would like to volunteer or make a donation.

Thank you and God Bless.
