Healthy Menu Guide
The Loaves and Fishes Healthy Menu Guide is written to help our 375 volunteer serving teams with information on creating and serving healthy, nutritious meals.

Meal Program Study - Complete Report
With support from The Saint Paul Foundation and United Way’s Twin Cities Hunger Initiative, Loaves and Fishes sponsored a meal program study/research project identifying the 20 largest meal programs in the Twin Cities metro area. The study looked at how many meals are being served by the largest programs, what other services are being provided, some of the “best practices” going on, and many of the demographics that distinguish one meal program from another.
