ever been hungry without anything to eat? ever had to decide between medicine and food? Join us in helping to end hunger in Contra Costa by advocating for the poor, donating your time and your resources! |
| "Hunger in America", a study published in 2006 by researchers, funded by private industry and encompassing over 50,000 people who experience hunger found that over 35 million people experience hunger or are in danger of being hungry at least once a week. The people that receive assistance from food pantries and organizations like Loaves and Fishes of Contra Costa are often working poor. At least one third of the recipients hold a job. Over a third of the people receiving help are children under eighteen years of age. Eight percent are children under six years of age. Ten percent of the recipients are seniors. |
| We offer a nutritious meal to any hungry person. We aim to provide a safe, comfortable eating environment. We are non denominational and strive to include all people, regardless of religion, race, beliefs or circumstances. Loaves and Fishes of Contra Costa has served the Contra Costa County communities for over twenty- five years. Thousands of our Loaves and Fishes volunteers have prepared and served over three million meals to the needy |
