The Mission of St. Francis of Assisi Outreach is to connect the hearts, hands, and efforts of our parish community to meet the basic necessities of our brothers and sisters in need. St. Francis of Assisi Outreach Ministry was first organized in the parish in 1979 as an outgrowth of the original St. Vincent de Paul conference. The food pantry also has been an integral part of the assistance provided by St. Francis Outreach ministry. Many families are assisted through these resources. Through the efforts of many volunteers and the generosity of the parish family, the Thrift Store. and the food pantry has developed into one of the outstanding emergency assistance centers in the Grapevine area today.
Due to the generosity of our parish community and the limited space of our food pantry area, we are limiting donations to the items listed below at this time. They can be dropped off at the Parish Office. You can also make a monetary donation online directly to our Outreach Fund.
