Donate Food & Supplies to Loaves & Fishes
Loaves & Fishes Wish List
Our needs are a little different from a food pantry, as we are preparing a
hot sit down dinner for 25-30 of our food insecure neighbors each day, rather than offering groceries.
High Need Perishables
These items are so very needed, and also require more TLC than dry goods do. If you will be bringing perishables, please call ahead, come straight from shopping and know your extra effort is greatly appreciated!
