Our mission is to provide healing and hope to children and families. It's as simple as that. How we accomplish that mission is not so simple. It takes dedicated professionals, volunteers, donors, community partners, and lots of prayer to successfully minister to the thousands of persons Saint Francis serves in the United States and abroad. Deeply rooted within the Episcopal tradition, our ministry is dedicated to the protection, nurturing, and healing of children. Since 1945, we have advocated and worked for the needs of young people at risk. As a non-profit, faith-based organization, we place great stock in the value of both traditional and non-traditional families. We believe strong families make children's lives better. That's why we care for children through community-based means - where ever we see need. Annually, we provide a broad range of programs and services to more than 31,000 children and families in Kansas, Oklahoma, Nebraska, Texas, Mississippi, and Central America. We help strengthen and heal families, while providing for the health and safety of children.
