The need in our community has increased more than 50% since 2019, and right now, you have the chance to make TWICE THE IMPACT.

For a limited time, every gift to Loaves & Fishes, Nourish Together Campaign will be matched dollar for dollar, thanks to the generosity of the Ronald L. McDaniel Foundation. That means your donation will go twice as far to help provide healthy food, essential resources, and pathways to stability for families who are struggling.

Don't wait—this matching opportunity won't last forever. Make your gift today and help us meet the growing need while maximizing your impact.

Together, we can meet the need. 💚

A heartfelt thank you to the St. Raphael Knights of Columbus for their continued generosity and commitment to strengthening our community.

Through their annual fundraising event, the Knights once again brought people together in support of local charitable organizations, creating a lasting impact for neighbors in need. We are honored to be among the organizations benefiting from their dedication to service and their belief in helping others.

Together, we are nourishing lives, building hope, and creating a stronger community for all. 💚

It’s our favorite time of year—fresh produce season! 🍅🥒🌽🍓

As local gardens and farms begin producing an abundance of fruits and vegetables, we’re excited to share fresh, nutritious food with our neighbors throughout the summer.

A heartfelt thank you to our incredible produce vendors and partners who help keep our shelves stocked with fresh, high-quality produce. Your generosity makes a meaningful difference for thousands of families across our community.

Do you have extra vegetables, herbs, or fruit growing in your garden? Consider sharing your harvest with families facing food insecurity. Every tomato, zucchini, cucumber, and pepper helps nourish our neighbors with healthy food they may not otherwise have access to.

Together, we can make this season of abundance a season of impact. Thank you for helping us Nourish Together. 💚

We enjoyed taking Lisa S. Sargent-Davis, Manager and Social Determinants of Health at Aetna, on a tour of our Aurora Food Distribution Hub this week. Both Loaves & Fishes and Aetna know that food insecurity has profound effects on physical, mental, and developmental health across all ages.

We are deeply grateful for Aetna’s partnership and commitment to supporting our mission to provide healthy food and impactful programs to promote self-sufficiency!

We are honored to receive the 2026 De La Salle Medallion for Excellence in Community Partnership from Lewis University!

This award recognizes organizations that demonstrate outstanding collaboration in service to students and the broader community. We are proud to be recognized for our partnership with Lewis University and our shared commitment to supporting families through the Fairmont Community Food Pantry at Fairmont School District 89.

Together, we are helping ensure that students and their families have access to the nutritious food they need to thrive, because when basic needs are met, students are better positioned to learn, grow, and succeed.

Thank you to Lewis University for this meaningful recognition and for being a valued partner in creating stronger, healthier communities.

🚧 HUB 2.0 UPDATE – WEEK 8 🚧

Week 8 is officially in the books… and WOW, what a week!

The biggest transformation? SO. MUCH. SOIL. 🚜 Over the past few days, crews removed an incredible amount of dirt from the site as Hub 2.0 continues to take shape right before our eyes.

A huge THANK YOU to our staff and volunteers who parked on the street this week and got in some extra steps! Your flexibility helped large dump trucks move safely and efficiently through our parking lot without incident. Safety and teamwork continue to make all the difference!

Every week brings visible progress, and we’re getting closer and closer to creating a stronger, expanded Hub that will help us serve even more neighbors in need. 💚
