Summer: Our Busiest Season
July is the busiest month of the year at Loaves & Fishes.
We've expanded our free, healthy meal program and opened an additional fifteen dining sites for the summer,
to meet a growing demand.
With school out, children no longer have access to free or
reduced-price lunches. Loaves & Fishes dining sites offer a much needed alternative for children
and
their families.
Kristina brings her children to our site at the
West 7th Community Center in St. Paul.
She
said, "It's really helpful to have these meals. I'm a stay at home mom to four boys, and it does help with our budget."
The additional summer sites remain open until the end of August.

More than half of our guests are older and in need of other services.
We're helping them through our new
Advocacy Program
for Older Minnesotans. Our Director of Advocacy, Debbie Lieberman, visits our dining sites and connects aging guests to resources they need to live healthy lives in their own homes.
Our program is made possible by a Live Well at Home grant from the Minnesota Department of Human Services.
