The Auxiliary of Francis House

Our Mission

The Auxiliary of Francis House is a volunteer organization dedicated to the promotion and support of the mission of Francis House. The Auxiliary has proudly served Francis House since 1992, one year after Francis House first opened its doors. Almost thirty years after its inception, the Auxiliary continues to benefit Francis House. Comprised of approximately 300 members, it is led by a volunteer Board of Directors who oversee more than 14 committees.
