The Franciscan Relief Fund was established by the Franciscan Friars in 2020 to bring food assistance to men, women, and children facing hunger during times of natural disaster, war, disease, unemployment or poverty.

In Ukraine today, our sisters and brothers and their children are facing hunger, homelessness and evacuation.

While many are leaving the country, the Franciscan Friars are staying to help and be with the people they serve. Through the Franciscan Relief Fund, we will send funds to the friars to help those who desperately need our help with food, clothing and medicine. Please – give generously and with gratitude to The Franciscan Relief Fund.

Who Are The Franciscan Friars?
The Franciscan Friars of Holy Name Province are rooted in Catholic traditions and follow the principles of our founding father, St. Francis of Assisi. We achieve this by collaborating with those whom we serve and by standing in solidarity with all people, especially the alienated, the immigrant, and the poor. At its most basic, this means providing food and shelter for those in need.  In short, we provide the crucial services that empower people to live their lives with dignity and purpose, free from poverty.
