St. Francis' Backpack Program

Meal Programs
Backpack Program

St. Francis provides food for a local middle school's backpack program,

Backpack food programs provide nutritious, non-perishable, easy-to-prepare food to children to ensure they get enough food on weekends and holidays to avoid hunger when they can’t depend on school meals.

Welcome Table

Meal Programs

St. Francis host Welcome Table at the local Methodist Church the last Monday of every month.

Jesus told us to feed the hungry. In response, the churches of Rutherfordton, including First United Methodist Church, have launched Welcome Table, a free community meal every Monday evening from 5:00-6:30 in the First UMC Fellowship Center. Those who come to Welcome Table receive a delicious hot meal served on real china with extra helpings of hospitality, compassion, and a listening ear.
