Finding Hope Amid Hardship: Your Support Matters Now 

More Than Ever

A Message From Our CEO

Easter represents a time of celebration and triumph, a spiritual victory over sin and death, and God’s promise of redemption and eternal life.

Loaves and Fishes for St. Louis, Inc., is currently facing significant challenges due to freezes in federal funding, payment delays, and cuts to financial support for homeless service programs.

As of today, the organization has over $100,000 in outstanding reimbursements from 2024 and early 2025. This funding delay critically affects our budget and our ability to serve the community effectively. The support of our friends and community members is essential during this time. Without this assistance, we may be forced to implement funding cuts, directly affecting families who rely on our services, such as Candace*.

Candace* has faced numerous challenges in maintaining employment due to health issues, which have hindered her ability to pay rent and utilities. Additionally, her daughter was experiencing difficulties in school. In her time of need, Candace turned to Loaves and Fishes, where she collaborated with a case manager to establish goals and develop a housing plan tailored to her family’s needs.

After three months of support, Candace successfully moved into her own home. She found a job that accommodated her health challenges through our employment programs. Candace and her daughter have since received counseling, improving their school performance. Most importantly, they now have a safe and stable living environment.

Your contributions are instrumental in securing a promising future for this family. Your efforts have provided a reason to celebrate this Easter as they emerge from challenging circumstances. While the nature of our victory may differ from traditional Easter promises, it is essential to recognize the importance of meeting basic needs in life-threatening situations. By addressing these needs, we empower individuals to live, grow, and overcome adversity, ultimately offering adults and children new opportunities for success.

This Easter, please continue to support Loaves and Fishes for St. Louis. We cannot offer this type of assistance without the generosity of our partners—partners who are passionate about helping others like you! ­
