Loaves and Fishes
At Loaves and Fishes Soup Kitchen, we partner with faith and community groups to provide an evening meal 7 nights a week. We generally serve 70-125 people a night, and the soup kitchen is open all year round. The only days meals are not served at the soup kitchen are Thanksgiving, Christmas, and sometimes Christmas in July. On those days, the hungry are invited to eat at the several other places that offer a free holiday meal, or to stop by St. Francis House during our evening hours.
