Support The Franciscan Community Volunteers

You can donate online through our secure site provided by US Bank. Please indicate that your donation is intended for the Franciscan Community Volunteers program. Remember, your donations to FCV are tax exempt!

Taste of St. Cloud:

You can support the Franciscan Community Volunteers and sample fare from local restaurants at the Taste of St. Cloud, hosted at Territory Golf Course each spring. Local restaurants donate their time and entrees for the tasting and proceeds go to FCV.

Save the date for our 5th annual Taste of St. Cloud, which will be Monday, May 5th, 2014 - we're looking forward to celebrating the next Taste on Cinco de Mayo!

As an individual and/or as a group you are invited to partner with us in this ministry by becoming a Financial Companion to the Franciscan Community Volunteers. Your financial donations will help the Franciscan Sisters with these costs:

• Room and Board
• Health Insurance
• Transportation to and from work
• Retreats and workshops
• $100.00 monthly stipend for each Volunteer

• FCV Star: $100 a month
• FCV Sustainer: $50 a month 
• FCV Supporter: $25 a month 
• FCV Friend: $10 a month
• Make a one-time donation
• Ask your employer to make a matching gift.

Volunteer Companions/Sponsors:

Each volunteer is paired with local 'companions' (formerly called 'sponsors') often a Franciscan Sister or a Franciscan Associate or a couple or individual in the community who adopt the volunteer for the year by making them feel welcomed in the area with particular attention to those who live far from their families. These partnerships are mutually enriching.

If you are interested in becoming a Volunteer Companion for the 2013-2014 program year, please contact Sister Clara Stang, FCV Director cstang@fslf.org; or Kaitlin Depuydt, Associate Director kdepuydt@fslf.org for more information. Both can be reached by phone at (320) 229-0307.
