Here are some links to learn more about how you can help.
Lutheran World Relief works with partners in 50 countries to help people grow food, improve health, strengthen communities, end conflict, build livelihoods and recover from diasters.
- Loaves & Fishes fed nearly 82,000 people in 2008 through a network of 17 volunteer-staffed food pantries and only eight paid staff.
- Loaves & Fishes does not charge any fees for the food provided. Your donations go directly to feed the hungry.
- Individuals and families receive a week's worth of nutritious groceries to prepare in their own homes.
- People are referred to Loaves & Fishes by human service agencies, clergy, medical providers and school counselors who see first hand those who struggle in our community.
- Loaves & Fishes keeps costs low (83% program and 17% administrative) thanks to community support. The average Loaves & Fishes' client faces an overwhelming amount of financial burden brought on by an emergency situation. Living Saviour continues to be a supporter of Loaves & Fishes through food collections that are regularly delivered to the pantries. Please remember to place canned items in the grocery cart in the fellowship hall. Priority needs are canned meats, soup, canned fruit, peanut butter and 100% fruit juice. No glass please. Thank you for your generous donations!
