St. Francis Community, East Orland, Maine

"Serve First Those Who Suffer Most"

  part of the

World Emmaus Movement

St. Francis Community is a 501(c)3 charity that provides food and shelter and human dignity.

We rely on the contributions of friends and supports to continue our work.

The big farmhouse of the St. Francis Community sheltered ten people.

Until it was totally destroyed in a devastating fire on May 8, 2007.
Miraculously, all ten people got out without serious injury although they all lost what things they had,
including the wheel chair van used to transport a bedridden member of the community.

With the help of many friends and volunteers, the big house has been rebuilt! 

It just needs some finishing touches. Everyone living in a wonderful new house!
