On July 17, St. Francis House created a new flow of traffic. Staff and volunteers will now be using the double-doors on the North side of the building to serve shoppers during pantry hours.

To help this transition, we kindly ask that volunteers and donors bringing In-Kind donations please drop-off during the following hours:

Monday – Thursday: 1:00 – 4:00 p.m.
Friday: 9:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. 

If the wide double-doors are closed, please ring the doorbell to let staff know you are here.

Thank you for all that you do for others!  You make an impact in the lives of our neighbors.

Wish Lists for Each Program

Lists are updated regularly and are very complete. Consequently, we may not accept items that are omitted from the list.

If you have any questions about in-kind or monetary donations, please contact Kristin Smoot at 907-222-7317 or email at ksmoot@cssalaska.org.

To coordinate drop-off of larger items, please contact Dwayne Patterson at 907-222-7323 or email at dpatterson@cssalaska.org.

If we receive items that are not on these wish lists, they will be donated to Bishop’s Attic or to Goodwill. We must dispose of all unneeded/unusable items, taking funding from our services and programs.
