The Franciscan Center in the News!


We saw this as an opportunity to fill a void not offered in the city.
 The Franciscan Center of Baltimore is getting homeless and less fortunate men back to work with it's 2-year-old Attire 4 Hire program. Charley Crowson reports from ABC2NEWS Baltimore (WMAR-TV) on January 31, 2012.



Our Mission

The Franciscan Center, founded by the Franciscan Sisters of Baltimore in 1968, is an outreach agency with a mission to provide emergency assistance and supportive outreach to persons who are economically disenfranchised in an effort to assist them in realizing their self-worth and dignity as people of God.

We serve people in need regardless of age, race, creed or national origin. Some are unable to work due to chronic illness. Some are homeless. Some earn wages below the poverty guideline. Some are members of families who have lost their means of support. Some suffer from mental illness. Some have HIV/AIDS.

Our goal is to give immediate response and relief to our clients' emergency needs and help them resolve the conditions that place them at risk.
