Through prayer, relationship-building and sharing of resources, the Wheaton Franciscans collaborate with organizations whose mission and priorities are similar to ours. We focus primarily on the following areas: care of creation; health and dental in underserved areas; refugees and immigrants; women and children in vulnerable situations; and other purposes that align with our values. We are currently connected to nearly 100 organizations.

Metropolitan Family Services DuPage (MFSD)
Wheaton, IL
MFSD provides the services needed to strengthen families and communities through four core services areas: Education, Economic Stability, Emotional Wellness and Empowerment. The vast majority of families served are extremely low-income, living in families at or below 100% of the Federal Poverty Line (FPL), and the remainder live in households at or below 200% of the FPL. Their programs fill a very real service void in these communities and the demand for their early childhood education, behavioral health, and domestic violence services remains high.
For it is in giving that we receive.
