CAPUCHIN OUTREACH TO THE POOR PARKDALE
Mission Statement
Capuchin Outreach to the Poor (Parkdale) was founded in 1987 y the Capuchin Franciscan friars of Central Canada with the vision of creating a faith community with the poor by providing direct services that seeks to advance the sense of human dignity of those who are in need. St. Francis Table, the primary expression of Capuchin Outreach serves meals six days a week in Toronto's Parkdale community. Patrons are asked to make a $1 donation towards their three course meal which is provided with full restaurant service. St. Clare Centre is our Outreach and drop-in space, hosting weekly AA meetings; as well as an informal drop-in space for patrons at St. Francis Table. We receive no government or United Way funding, instead, relying on the charity of private individuals and usinesses for our income.
