The Franciscan Center is a not-for-profit ministry based on the south-east side of Fort Wayne, that provides free food through various programs to those in need. The center has been in operation for 16 years, and in our current location of 4643 Gaywood Drive (the old Sacred Heart Catholic School) for over two years.

Our Programs Include:

• St. Peter’s Sack Lunch Program, where we create over 1,000 sack lunches every week to be delivered to the hungry on Saturday mornings.
• St. Anthony’s Food Pantry, where we provide free food for nearly 300 clients a week.
• Feed My Sheep Ministry, where the Franciscan Center provides the tools for community groups to operate food drives and donate food to our Food Pantry.
• St. Joseph Assistance Ministry, where we provide over-the-counter medication and personal needs in times of emergency and special circumstances.
