An Update from Loaves & Fishes
After ending 2025 with the highest-ever number of people served - 143,728 individuals received food - Loaves & Fishes has launched 2026 prepared to serve 200 households every Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday.
We could not possibly respond to this continued increase without the generous donation of money and time from our donors and volunteers.
Your donations help us keep food from grocery stores from going to the landfill (more than 1M lbs. in 2025).
Using efficient sourcing that includes grocery store rescue, ordering USDA and donated foods and purchasing certain products like meat, yogurt, cooking oil, flour, cereal, and peanut butter from the food bank, and buying wholesale dairy, we are able to be generous to more visitors, while still keeping our expenses down.
In 2025, it costs Loaves & Fishes about $7 to provide about a week's worth of food to each recipient.
