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.

Garden Maintenance

One of our former Board members established a beautiful garden and, unfortunately since her passing it hasn’t been the same. Can your company take on this project and either pay for a contractor or provide an employee team to maintain the garden? Labor, plants, mulch could be included.

Lawn Maintenance

Currently we pay a contractor to mow/trim/blow our lawn. Can your company sponsor this cost or provide these services?

Periodically we have maintenance projects such as painting and minor repairs. Can your business pay for a professional crew or provide your own employee team to accomplish this project?
