Loaves & Fishes Community Breakfast 
Thank you for making our first-ever Community Breakfast a success! We raised nearly  $7,000 and received a $5,000 dollar matching gift. During our program, attendees found out how our meals truly 
make a difference in the lives of our guests. 
We are grateful to everyone who attended, including our featured speaker Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey. 
Thanks to our generous sponsors, BI Worldwide and Thrivent, all donations from the event will go to our meal programs.

We're Growing on the Farm
Plants are in the ground and seedlings are sprouting at our  farm and gardens. Farmer Kim and dozens of volunteers have been working hard to prepare the soil and plant the crops. This year, we're growing tomatoes, potatoes, lettuce and much more. Soon, our first crop of radishes will be served in salads at our dining sites. Our goal this year is to serve farm produce on 80 thousand plates! 
Please consider volunteering your time at our farm or one of our gardens. Click here to sign up or contact Kim at farmforall@loavesandfishesmn.org

WHY I VOLUNTEER: 
Mark has been volunteering with his family at our St. Stephen's dining site  for  31 years! Mark started volunteering with his mom and dad when he was just 10 years old. He credits this experience with helping him find a job working in the kitchen at Edina High School. Mark also helps rescue food from the school cafeteria, which is then donated to our meal program. Thank you, Mark!

GUEST STORY
  
Healthy Meals Make a Difference
Mike is a regular guest at our  Brooklyn United Methodist Church dining site.  He's currently unable to afford a home for himself, 
so he's living out of his car.  Mike is grateful for the healthy meals we serve to our guests. 
He said, "I get meals that I don't often get otherwise,  at least once a day." 
Mike also expressed his gratitude to our donors.  He told us, "Thank you very much. (The meals) make a difference between eating or not eating sometimes."
