Community Giving
Loaves and Fishes Food Pantry is now in need of donation to help kids receive healthy lunches during the summer.
- Loaves & Fishes Community Pantry has provided food and essentials to the community since 1984. Currently, more than 3,500 families comprised of over 14,000 individuals are enrolled for services; half are under age 18. On average, about 100 new households visit Loaves & Fishes each month.
- A recent pilot program allows DuPage County residents to receive a full distribution once each month; Naperville and Naperville Township residents may visit the Pantry twice a month.
- Loaves & Fishes operates a Client Choice food distribution system that empowers people to select foods they like and can prepare, while respect their health and cultural needs.
- In addition to four Client Choice food distribution sessions each week, we also deliver personalized packages each month to qualified senior and disabled residents living in five Naperville government-supported housing complexes.
- Special dietary needs, including foods free of or low in sugar, salt, and gluten represent an underserved category. More of these products would enable families to increase their nutritional intake and reduce preventable health conditions, such as diabetes, hypertension, and cardiac issues.
