Providing food, warmth, and a path home for homeless men, women, and children.

Our guests can rely on us and our sixteen survival services programs because we can rely on you. You make it possible for us to offer our homeless neighbors hearty meals, basic supplies, showers, caring guidance, and much more that is hard to come by on the streets. For nearly 1,000 men, women, and children every day, your kind gift is a life-saving break from desperation.

We need your help more than ever. Please make a special year-end donation to help us start 2020 with hot meals, survival supplies, and a sense of peace for anyone who comes to us in need.

Women and children can find survival supplies and connections to resources in a welcoming, safe, encouraging environment.

Our Dining Room serves a hot, hearty midday meal for up to 800 people every day. For many of our guests, this is their only connection to nutritious food.

No Government Funds

Loaves & Fishes does not accept or solicit government funds. This policy allows us to meet our guests where they are, take their individual needs into account, and grow our programs to better support them. We are free to be a voice for homeless men, women, and children and when necessary stand up to government officials without fear of losing our funding.

This also means that we rely entirely on private and community support, so you literally make our work possible. Your support keeps nearly 1,000 daily guests from constant hunger, desperation, and despair. Together we can do BIG things for Sacramento's homeless men, women, and children.
