Food Drop Off

Loaves & Fishes distributes over 60,000 lbs of food every week to our families in need, and we couldn’t do it without the support of the entire community. Food donations are accepted at the Loaves & Fishes location (1871 High Grove Lane, Naperville, IL 60540) during all regular business hours. Volunteers will be available to help unload your vehicle. Please make an appointment if you plan to drop off food outside of open hours.
