FRANCIS ON THE HILL IN WASHINGTON DC ONL

Francis in the schools (fis), our original program, offers inspiring field trips for children and their families from impoverished neighborhoods in the san francisco bay area and gives them gifts of quality clothes, shoes, groceries, books, educational toys, and needed supplies. And--in response to the unprecedented times of the pandemic--small cash gifts for children's needs. A number of outdoor celebrations for the children and grocery distribution at various schools were held during the pandemic years. This year, we collaborated with white pony express (501(c)(3)) to send supplies to refugees in ukraine and poland.
