Positively Naperville, Together, we can fill the food gap
In the last year, Loaves & Fishes has seen a marked and rapid increase in the number of people needing help. This is primarily due to the lingering economic effects of the pandemic, high inflation, especially for food, and a reduction in SNAP benefits for our clients.

Loaves & Fishes: Summer hits hard for the food insecure
Summer Gardens Can Combat Food Insecurity
As we embrace the warmth of the summer season, many of us spend time in our gardens, enjoying the harvest, sharing with family and friends, or pickling and preserving. Gardening has experienced a resurgence in recent years, with an increasing number of individuals cultivating their own fruits, vegetables, and herbs. This summer pastime also provides an opportunity to help families struggling to keep food on their table by donating homegrown produce. Not only does this provide access to fresh, healthy food, but it also promotes self-sustainability, environmental awareness, and a strong sense of community spirit.
Stamp Out Hunger on May 13th!
Each year, residents are encouraged to place healthy, unexpired, non-perishable items in bags by their mailboxes on the second Saturday in May. This year on Saturday, May 13, place healthy unexpired non-perishable items in bags by their mailbox for collection by postal carriers and Loaves & Fishes volunteers.
