HISTORY OF ST JOSEPH FAMILY CENTER
St. Joseph's began as an orphanage in the early 1890s.by Sisters from the Order of St. Francis of Philadelphia. They traveled west by train to care for children who had nowhere else to call home. The Sisters struggled to care for the children with little or no funding, but always managed to provide food, shelter, and caring.
In 1981, the state of Washington moved to a foster care
system, and orphanages became obsolete. In 1987, St. Joseph Family Center began serving the community a Although much has changed about St. Joseph Family Center over the last century, one thing always been true. SJFC continues to offer services to the Spokane area with the purpose of developing the whole person to build healthy relationships, families, and communities.
