St. Francis of Assisi Kitchen is conducting its 2026 Host‑for‑a‑Day campaign, which is the primary means of financial support for the kitchen’s mission to provide a free daily meal, clothing and groceries for households of individuals and families in need. From left are Rob Williams, kitchen executive director; Donna Barbetti, advisory board president; and Michael J. Cummings, advisory board member and campaign chair. For a donation of $100 or more, an individual, family, business, community organization or faith-based group can help to “host” a day’s meal and support the other services. Major sponsorship levels are also available starting at $500. To make a gift, visit www.stfranciskitchen.org, facebook.com/stfranciskitchen, text SFAK to 26989, call the kitchen at 570-342‑5556 or send a check to St. Francis of Assisi Kitchen, 500 Penn Ave., Scranton PA 18509. The campaign concludes with an appreciation reception on April 29.
