“I never thought it would happen to me but it did! Due to the COVID-19 crisis, I was laid off from my job at a local restaurant. I’ve been struggling to pay my bills and have been surviving on peanut butter sandwiches and cereal. I learned about Loaves & Fishes from a post I saw on Facebook and managed to find the courage to visit. My sincere thanks to all the volunteers and donors – you’ve given me hope.”
-Brenda, a Littleton resident
Without our volunteer crew, Loaves & Fishes simply could not survive! The COVID-19 crisis created a shortage of volunteers – over 60 self-selected out due to their age, health or out of concern for members of their household. Our small staff, along with a small crew of volunteers managed to keep the newly implemented drive-thru operational but it quickly became clear that we couldn’t sustain that pace. Our brief closure during mid-April allowed us to regroup and recruit over 120 new volunteers – individuals, couples and families! To each of you who have given the gift of your time, thank you. You have helped us sustain the Pantry at our time of need and provided so much more than food to our neighbors. You have truly made a difference.
