FEEDING THE HUNGRY SINCE 1983
On June 15 1983, Loaves and Fishes, Inc. was started by a group of 18 churches and social organizations and began serving meals at Nativity. It started in response to the lingering effects of a sour economy. For thirty-seven years, contributions of food, volunteer hours, and funds have continued making it possible for Loaves and Fishes to operate without interruption while serving well over two million meals.
Loaves was founded based upon the heart and souls of people caring for people. The kitchen was small, and the cooking tools were minimal, think short stirring spoons and old pots. Lack of shelving and refrigeration meant that Loaves had to purchase supplies day by day to fulfill their one goal of feeding hungry people. In the beginning, about 15 to 20 people a day would come to eat, funds were low, and the need was constant. The churches, social organizations, and city officials would come to volunteer and even to eat, often leaving donations under their plates, sometimes as much as $100.00. Most of those founding churches and social organizations continue to donate or volunteer today. Some individuals’ who volunteered from day one also continue to volunteer today.
Today, June 15, 2020, we provide 4,000 to 5,000 meals per month with three part-time staff and as many volunteers as we can get. Of those we serve, 50% of the people we serve are homeless, and the other 50% are homed, but unable to fully provide.
If in 1983, we started well intended, but ragtag, then we certainly felt ragtag when the Pandemic and social distancing began. But, as always, we hardly missed a beat, that heart and soul of people caring for people stood up, stood out, and got it done. We had to close the building to diners, but we went into the community with increased deliveries until we could restructure to take-out services. There are so many tear-bringing, soul-affirming stories, that, unfortunately, we can’t hug about right now. Such as the woman with children just out of domestic violence sleeping two weeks on an apartment floor and so humbly thankful for the food we were able to bring. The man without a phone, in a trailer in the Kiln, who had just had his toe removed and had no food. The many people without homes, those who immediately lost jobs, who came (come) for the hot meals and with social distancing say “thank you.”
