About

The kitchen functions with hired and volunteer help. The kitchen has one Executive director, one cook and one part-time cook - the rest are volunteers.

There is a volunteer board and approximately 40 volunteers (but we always welcome more!)

John Bond is the current Vice Chair and can be contacted by phone at 539-5182 or by filling out the Contact Form (General Inquiries).

In 1981, a group of concerned citizens came together to discuss the growing problems of people going hungry with no means to help themselves.

In December 1981, Loaves and Fishes Community Kitchen, a non-profit restaurant, opened it's doors for the first time, serving a noon-time meal.

It started as a pilot project to only last a few months but the need became apparent and is still in operation today,

At present the kitchen is serving 50,000 plus meals annually.
