Mission
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. Founded by a small group of people at Thanksgiving time in 1991, Loaves and Fishes is a well known and highly respected organization. 
The coffee pot is always on!! Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays we serve supper from 5 pm through 7 p.m. to 150 - 200 guests. We offer rides to those who are not able to come on their own. We deliver take out meals to those who are unable to come. Tuesdays and Thursdays we are open through the day for drop in coffee and snacks. These are also our busy cleaning days. Bible Study is on Wednesday afternoons. 
Praying for the needs of our guests, ministries, churches and our world. Please give us a call if you would like more information.
