Partners

With an increasing number of people relying on food pantries, the support Loaves & Fishes receives from our partners is essential. Whether it is making a donation that helps provide many local individuals and families with food; donating  services to help run pantry operations; donating goods to hold special events; or donating company resources that may help the pantry, businesses and organizations make a significant difference in the fight to end hunger.

We appreciate our partners greatly! Partners are recognized in our Harvest Club.
