Little Portion Farm, a ministry of the Franciscan Friars Conventual, uses sustainable farming methods to restore the health of the land and donates all harvests to the Franciscan Center of Baltimore. The farm's mission is to, using the words of Pope Francis, “hear both the cry of the earth and the cry of the poor.”

The Franciscan Center serves persons who are economically disadvantaged in an effort to assist them in realizing their self-worth and dignity as people of God. As Baltimoreans make their way to self-sufficiency, services include: Culinary Services, Responsive Services, and Empowerment Services (nutrition, connection, and education).
