F R O M T H E B O A R D
Friends and family of the St. Francis House, It is my great
honor and privilege on behalf of the Board of Directors to welcome
you to the 2021 St. Francis House Dinner & Auction. We have so
much to celebrate and give thanks for, and tonight we will do
both. The ability to be back in-person for this event is an amazing
blessing, and we sincerely hope you enjoy our hospitality.
For 34 years, the St. Francis House has been a valued resource
in our community for those looking for a second, and sometimes
even a third or fourth chance, to get the hand up needed to make
their lives better. “Moving People from Homelessness to Hope” is
what we do!
This next month, we will celebrate a year of occupancy in the
whole, new building. We now have the ability to serve 120 guests
in the new facility, in addition to the family units and other housing options. The team that worked on
planning, fundraising, construction, and now working in the “House” has made a bright new reality
for our guests, and for our community.
I want to thank the businesses, churches, service groups, families, and individuals that have
partnered with us to financially support the capital campaign and the daily mission of St. Francis
House.
2020 was a tough year on everyone, but the St. Francis House came through the pandemic very
well. It was not without a few bumps and bruises, but as we look back, the timing of being in the new
facility, and to have the staff that we do, allowed for MUCH safer protocols and practices, helping to
insure that guests and staff were protected and kept safe.
I want to thank our very talented and dedicated staff for their care, diligence, and hard work
through this last year especially. Each of you is important, your work is valued and appreciated, and
I am thankful that you are part of making the St. Francis House a place that our guests feel safe and
encouraged. I am so grateful for the leadership of our Executive Director, Julie Becker, and the many,
many ways she pours herself into her work. And to the hundreds of volunteer partners that show up
and give of themselves to guests and the staff, the success of our mission is in the relationships that
occur each time you come to the House. Thank you to those that have volunteered time and resources;
you have made many goals and dreams come true. Please hear this; we really appreciate all that you
do, and we are grateful!
This evening, I hope you hear and appreciate the stories of the many ways that partnering with
the St. Francis House impacts the lives of guests and their families, but also the amazing ways that our
community benefits as a whole.
We are blessed more than average, and we give thanks to God for His faithfulness.
In Christ,
Pr. Jeff Backer, St. Francis House Board President

BOONTHAN’S STORY: ‘ They recognized my worth...’
My name is Boonthan Khanthavong. I came to the
St. Francis House September of 2020. When I came to
the St. Francis House, I did not have anything to my
name, and couldn’t even get a simple state ID due to my
green card being lost while I was in prison. After many
months of working for the Shopping News bagging and
delivery newspapers, I saved enough money to be able
to apply for a new one. Due to the help and support of
Juan, my case manager, I was finally able to finally put
in for replacement green card with the help of my case
manager. All my hard work, time and patience, paid off.
Once the green card was approved, more opportunities
were open to me for employment. I was able to obtain
my state ID and my Social Security Card. Then, I was
able to apply for a position at Millennium Recycling and
I am glad I accepted this position. They provided a stable
source of income for me and made me feel like a part of
a team. They recognized my worth and they showed it to all of their employees each day.
My time here at the St. Francis House was well worth the stay. I have gotten to know the
staff well and they have made a positive impact on my life. The St. Francis House provided
me with many necessities but the most important thing they provided was their support.
I am grateful to have been a part of this program and being able to leave here a better
person.
What makes st. Francis House Unique?
• We are transitional housing. Guests typically stay from 60 days to as much as a year.
• Zero tolerance policy for drugs, alcohol and gambling.
• All guests must work. There are 82 local businesses that regularly employ our people.
• Guests are required to make payments on debt, child support or court-ordered restitution.
• Because they pay a modest fee to stay at the house, guests learn to budget for rent.
• Guests save money for a ‘starter fund’ for their own apartment.
