We began with two words spoken to Milo Reno in the Fall of 1983, “Help them!” God said. We responded by delivering food baskets to families in need at Christmas time that year. For four years we
and faithful volunteers provided food and encouragement in a small location on East 11th
Street. In 1987
we moved to our current building and expanded the outreach.
Over the years Loaves & Fishes has assisted tens of thousands of families with good food,
groceries
and the Good News.
"By this we perceive the love of God, because He laid down His life for us, we ought lay down our lives for the brethren.
But whosoever has this world’s goods and sees his brother have a need and shuts
up his compassion from him, how does the love of God dwell in him?
My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue, but in deed and in
truth."
I John 3:16-18
