Spotlight on Success!
Hello, my name is Cindy*, and this is my success story.
I entered Loaves and Fishes in August of 2022; before arriving, my 14-year-old daughter and I were alone, afraid, and had nowhere to go. Immediately we received a warm welcome. We were assigned a case worker who worked with me during our stay
With their help, I enrolled my daughter in the local school and found a job.
Before we could move into our own place, I needed to pay off unpaid utility and Housing Authority balances. Loaves and Fishes paid my $1000 Ameren bill, which I would not have been able to do on my own. They also helped me pay my outstanding $2000 debt with the Housing Authority. When we moved into our own place, Loaves and Fishes generously donated housewarming gifts that included – bedding (sheets, pillows, bedspreads) and kitchenware. Upon departure, I was relieved to hear that Loaves and Fishes will always support me. I am still receiving food pantry assistance.
Loaves and Fishes have done so much for me that when asked I come back and share my story with other families who need inspiration. I would recommend Loaves and Fishes to anyone who needs support and a place to stay.

Volunteer Groups!
Looking for a rewarding volunteer opportunity for your group? We’d love to have you. Volunteers help create the daily boxes for the food pantry clients, perform light cleaning in the shelter, special holiday meal distributions, and much more.
What began with a man looking for food and shelter blossomed into today’s mission and values. Join us as we continue to serve the community for many more years through our 41 Years of Service campaign. Where you can donate $41, $141, $241, or $541.
All proceeds raised stay local to support the programs of Loaves and Fishes for St. Louis because we all deserve a home.
