At Sacramento Loaves & Fishes the holidays are one of the busiest times of the year. We work with the generosity of our community to provide survival supplies for the winter such as coats, sleeping bags, tents, gloves, and much more. On the Tuesday before Thanksgiving we hold our largest meal service for nearly 1,000 men, women, and children— in just one day.

However, none of the work we do is possible without you. We do not accept government funds. The majority - or 80% - of our support come from people like you who are trying to make a difference in the lives of the most marginalized in our community.

There are many ways to help your homeless neighbors this holiday season, from donating to our programs to bringing food for our holiday meals – read on!

We need food for Christmas

The holidays can be an especially difficult time for our guests, which is why our annual Christmas feast is so important. You can be the reason our guests are thankful this holiday season by helping us set our table. Learn More
