Minnesota households can’t afford the food they need.
It could be your teacher, your neighbor, your sister; it could be you. Hunger impacts us all.
Since 1982, Loaves & Fishes has answered that need with free, healthy meals, served with dignity and no questions asked. This November, every gift is matched, so your help reaches twice as many neighbors.
Our Give to the Max Day Goal is:
$200,000
That support could help provide approximately
240,000 Meals

MINNESOTA’S STATEWIDE GIVING HOLIDAY
Give to the Max Day
Give to the Max Day is Minnesota’s statewide giving holiday, a day when neighbors across the state come together to support the causes they care about.
For Loaves & Fishes, it’s one of the most important days of the year: your gift helps us serve free, nutritious meals to anyone who needs one. Early giving opens November 1.
Our Mission is to provide healthy meals to Minnesotans in areas where the need is greatest
Since 1982, Loaves & Fishes has operated on a simple, radical idea: serve free, hot meals to anyone who walks through the door, no questions, no paperwork, no cost.
We don’t just feed people. We welcome them. We see them. We sit down with them. Because hunger isn’t just about food, it’s about belonging to a community that cares.
