served the
Naperville area

community partnerships are integral to the success of Loaves &
Fishes, now serving all of DuPage County.
In the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011, Loaves & Fishes provided

Additionally, we initiated
Pathways to Empowerment programs to assist people with
issues preventing them from being self-sufficient. These
on-site programs are offered by partner agencies on topics such
as English language proficiency, nutrition education, basic
financial skills, job search support, income tax preparation,
and public benefits enrollment.
As of November 2011, family visits are up 59% over the
same time in 2010. Loaves & Fishes is serving record numbers of
people because of its collaboration with the community.
