Loaves & Fishes is a nonprofit organization serving free, healthy meals to those in need in ten Minnesota counties. We are the largest open to the public free meal program in the state. We are guided by our vision that all people, regardless of socioeconomic, cultural, religious or ethnic background, deserve to meet their basic needs for food, dignity and respect.The mission of Loaves & Fishes has been enhanced to emphasize nutrition in every meal, including local farm-to-table dining. Innovative expansion efforts and growth of programming have resulted in record-breaking meal counts and today Loaves and Fishes is well-positioned to serve one million nutritious meals annually to Minnesotans in need.

Make plans now to join us at Community Emergency Services (CES) on Saturday, July 6, 2019.  This will be another of our family friendly, bi-monthly food shelf volunteer events where we will pack food and sundry items in accordance with the “shopping” lists of approximately 140 of CES’s home delivery clients.

The event will start at 9:00 AM and conclude sometime between 10:30 and 11:00.  No need to register.

Parking is available in the small lot behind the building or on 19th Street.  Please enter the building from the entrance off of the parking lot (the door is sometimes locked, so you may need to ring the bell).  CES’s address is 1900 11th Avenue South, Minneapolis, MN 55404 (corner of 11^th Avenue South and 19^th Street). 

If you plan on attending and wish to bring food or sundry items to donate, please feel free to do so.  They are usually low on coffee and tea, both of which are available in $1 packages at Dollar Tree. Canned tuna and chicken are always welcome, as well.  They also accept pet food and litter for their pet food shelf.  CES will provide a receipt to you for your donation.

Hope you can make it on July 6!  Also, here are our food shelf/home delivery program dates for the rest of 2019 and January of 2020:

Weaving together her personal story and a brief history of the Korean Peninsula, she shares why working with North Korean refugees claims her action and her compassion. She says, “This is a truly important issue –important for global stability, important for the Korean people, and important for the cause of global human rights.
