PLEASE HELP!

Your NCFIIA Board voted to adopt the St. Francis House for community outreach efforts this year.  St. Francis House desperately needs to replenish its pantry. When you attend future Chapter meetings and seminars, we ask that you please bring canned goods or other non-perishable food stuffs for donation.  Thank you!
