Through the Needle Arts Mentoring Program, volunteer adults mentor children, teaching them the needle arts as part of a school or after school program, youth group, library program, etc. We provided materials to guide in setting up the program and free startup supplies for knitting, crochet, needlepoint or cross-stitch at no charge - a nominal donation is requested to help defray shipping and printing costs. We have over 200 programs all over the country serving over 5500 young stitchers!
Mentor youth in your programs by teaching the needle arts.

On October 13, 2012, our community will rally together to prepare over 100,000 meals to feed starving children! Schools, churches, and businesses are all working together to meet this goal. In just two hours, each volunteer will package over 300 meals. You've always said that you want to make a difference. Take this opportunity to do just that!

The Franciscan Community Meals-on-Wheels Adopt-a-Route program is an easy and effective way for companies and organizations to get involved in their local communities! With as few as four people, a company or organization can Adopt-a-Route and deliver meals one day a week. Therefore, individual staff members would only deliver once a month, but the company or organization would help seniors, homebound and handicapped individuals every week.
Our "small people" need folks who want to entertain, teach, feed and play with them! Working in the Nursery allows you to not only minister to our children, but you're helping their parents have some time for great, uninterrupted worship. Our children are ages 0-3 and we are "open for business" during both the 8:30 and 11:00 worship hours. Won't you consider joining us?
