January

We are thankful for all the support we received in 2023! Many of you and many in our community have stepped forward to volunteer time, resources, and prayers to help Loaves & Fishes be a blessing to our community.

Here are some statistics for 2023:

• Number of meals served in 2023: 26,207

• Number of Meal Dates (Tuesdays): 47

• Average number of meals served each Tuesday: 558

• Number of Households served in 2023: 12,163

• Average number of households served each Tuesday: 259

Since our start in August 2022 to the end of 2023:

• Number of meals served in total: 35,300

• Number of Meal Dates (Tuesdays): 68

• Average number of meals served each Tuesday: 519

• Number of Households served: 16,269

• Average number of households served each Tuesday: 239

August through December of 2023, we have averaged 611 meals served to 282 households each Tuesday. We are seeing consistent growth although we believe there will be a small drop during the months of January, February, and March. We experienced a drop last year.

While statistics help show the need, the real blessing of Loaves & Fishes is God creating a community of love, joy, and respect where everyone feels welcomed and everyone knows they count...that goes for our volunteers as well as our guests!
