For 30 years, Franciscan Peacemakers has walked alongside women in our community who have experienced sexual exploitation, poverty, trauma, and incarceration. What began as a small effort rooted in compassion has grown into a powerful movement of outreach, housing, advocacy, and economic empowerment.

Every day, women who once felt invisible are rediscovering their dignity, rebuilding their lives, and finding hope for the future.

This milestone anniversary is more than a celebration of the past—it is an invitation to build the future together.

Over the past three decades, thousands of women have found safety, support, and opportunity through Franciscan Peacemakers. From sharing meals on the streets, to providing safe housing at Clare Community, to creating employment through our social enterprise, our mission has always been the same: to stand with women and support their journey toward healing and independence.

As we celebrate 30 years of service, we invite you to be part of the next chapter.

Your support will help ensure that women in our community continue to have access to safe housing, compassionate care, and meaningful employment opportunities that foster long-term stability and healing.

Together, we can continue creating a community where every woman is valued, supported, and given the opportunity to thrive.

Join us as we celebrate 30 years of impact—and help us build the next 30 years of hope.
