Loaves & Fishes 40th Anniversary

2023 marks our 40th year of providing homeless survival services! In 1983, our founders, Chris and Dan Delany, (pictured to the right) opened a small dining room to feed hungry people. When Chris recalls those early days, she says, "I have always thought of Loaves & Fishes as miraculous.
