International Day Of Charity 2024: History
In 2012, the United Nations instituted the International Day of Charity as a way to recognize the global humanitarian efforts of organisations, choosing September 5th as the anniversary of Mother Teresa's passing. In addition to honouring her lifetime commitment to giving back, this day draws attention to the work done by numerous organisations throughout the world and invites the public to get involved by making donations, volunteering, and spreading awareness for important reasons. In 1950, Mother Teresa established the Missionaries of Charity. Members of this international community make vows of poverty, chastity, obedience, and a unique commitment to serve "the poorest of the poor."

Today, September 5th, 2024, is the International Day of Charity—a powerful reminder of how we can each be a beacon of hope and change.
At St. Francis Children’s Center, we are dedicated to supporting children with special needs, helping them to learn, grow, and thrive. This day holds a special place in our hearts as we reflect on the incredible impact that generosity can have.
If you’re considering making a donation, we hope you’ll think of us and the children we serve. Every gift, big or small, helps us provide the care and education that these remarkable kids deserve. Of course, if there’s another charity close to your heart, we encourage you to support them as well.
Let’s embrace this day with compassion and a commitment to making a difference. Together, we can build a world where every child has the chance to shine.
