Loaves and Fishes

Loaves and Fishes have been around for many years helping people in need within our community.  Families are living in poverty and children are going without food. These are two serious issues that we all need to pay closer attention to. Nobody should have to suffer from hunger and there are some great organizations within our community trying to end the fight against hunger.

 There are many ways we can help even in the smallest ways.   You can start small, as I did by donating.  You can bring in perishable items as well as turkeys, hams and fresh fruits and vegetables.  Even if it’s just 1 or a few cans there are many families who will be very grateful and appreciative for your donation.  You can even look on their website to see what items are on their wish list.  On the wish list are high demand items broken down by the months so you don’t have to guess what to bring in! Another way to help is just simply donating money.  I have given as little as $5 they were grateful for my donation and respected the fact that was all that I could give.  You can also help the organization by donating your time as well.  Not everybody is in the position to give money or food items but you can help combat hunger in other ways.  They are always looking for individuals to help distribute food to the needy, but any skills and talents are always welcomed.   So if you are in the position give a food item, donate money or volunteer your time we will all be helping to address the hunger within our community. I have included a link for another opportunity within our community for us to help fight against hunger- Walkday 2014!
