WELCOME TO RED DEER LOAVES AND FISHES NEW WEBSITE

 Loaves and Fishes wants to show the love of Jesus by providing food for the hungry, refuge for the weary and comfort for the broken hearted. Our priorities are building self esteem and confidence, providing a listening ear and prayer for the desperate. Our ultimate goal is to share Jesus, the greatest gift of all.

Prasie the Lord, we now have the drivers we are needing. Thank you everyone for helping out. 

We are still in need of volunteers to make nut free cookies. We now make 139 school lunches every day and the cookies go very quickly. If you are interested please call Emily at 403-342-6602 or email her at ehillis@shaw.ca . Thank you to all who are now baking cookies and volunteering their valuable time and supplies to help children have a treat in their lunch bags.
