August 17 is National Nonprofit Day – a time to recognize the impact nonprofits have in our communities and to celebrate the people whose passion fuels that work. For Saint Francis Ministries, this day is more than a date on the calendar; it’s a reminder of why we exist and who we serve.
For nearly 80 years, Saint Francis Ministries has walked alongside children and families, offering hope, healing, and second chances. Our mission is rooted in the belief that every child deserves to grow up safe, loved, and connected. Whether we are providing foster care, adoption services, residential programs, or prevention and family support, our work is sustained by a shared vision: transforming lives and systems so every family has the opportunity to thrive.
National Nonprofit Day is also a chance to shine a light on the partners, donors, volunteers, and advocates who make this mission possible. From foster parents who open their hearts and homes, to community organizations that partner with us, to supporters whose generosity fuels our programs – every act of kindness creates ripples of change.
Today, we celebrate not only our Saint Francis team but all nonprofits working tirelessly to meet needs, address injustice, and strengthen communities. In a world where challenges can seem overwhelming, nonprofits stand as beacons of compassion and action.
We invite you to mark National Nonprofit Day by learning more about our work, becoming a foster parent, volunteering, or making a gift. Together, we can continue to write stories of healing and hope – because when children and families thrive, so do our communities.
