Every day, Loaves and Fishes for St. Louis opens the door to hope for families in crisis. Last year alone, we offered emergency shelter to over 350 families, with 60% of those clients being children and  provided nearly 600,000 meals through our food pantry—87% of which served senior citizens.

We believe a miracle can start with just one call or one open door. Your support means meals, shelter, and new beginnings for those who need it most.
