Francis Center

The Francis Center is a non-profit food and clothing pantry located in Portland, Oregon. Established over 50 years ago by Catholic Franciscan priests, the center aims to provide assistance to the most vulnerable members of society, regardless of their faith. They offer food boxes filled with nutritionally dense items, including canned goods, rice, pasta, fresh fruits and vegetables, as well as clothing for men, women, and children. The center also accepts food and clothing donations and welcomes volunteers to help serve the community.

With a mission to break the cycle of poverty and hunger, the Francis Center serves residents in East Multnomah County, specifically those living in zip codes 97266, 97206, 97215, and 97216. They strive to address various challenges faced by disadvantaged individuals, such as homelessness, health issues, unemployment, underemployment, and immigration concerns. The center's commitment to inclusivity is evident in their adherence to federal civil rights laws, ensuring that they do not discriminate based on race, color, national origin, sex, disability, age, or prior civil rights activity.
