Lunches for St. Francis Inn

First Monday of Every Month

On the first Monday of each month, Nazareth Academy Grade School has made a committment to the people served by St. Francis Inn in Philadelphia. 

This program is part of our Middle States Project:  Faith in Action:  Rooted in Catholic Values.  Food is purchased using contributions donated by students in grades 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8th grades.  Our seventh grade oversees the making of the lunches by students and volunteer parents who prepare the lunches in the Multi-purpose Room before our morning prayers.

Students in grades 1, 2, and 3 prepare lunches at home with their families and bring them to school on the First Monday of each month.  These lunches should include a meat/cheese sandwich, beverage, fresh fruit, and a desert.

The clients served by St. Francis Inn are appreciative and dependent on our generosity.  For some people, this is the only meal that they receive for the day.  These meals feed men, women, and children, many of whom are homeless.
