Giving Tuesday 2025

Giving Tuesday is a global generosity movement unleashing the power of radical generosity. Giving Tuesday was created in 2012 as a simple idea: a day that encourages people to do good. Since then, it has grown into a year-round global movement that inspires hundreds of millions of people to give, collaborate, and celebrate generosity.

For many, this time of year brings joy, warmth, and togetherness. Yet, we are aware that this season brings added stress for people as they struggle to provide for their loved ones. Loaves & Fishes is currently serving over 10,000 individuals each week.  With the freeze of SNAP benefits, we are experiencing an unprecedented increase in need -on top of this, the holidays are approaching, when we typically experience even more families seeking assistance.

The food we provide our clients is more than simply filling their shelves; it offers comfort, hope, and a reminder that they are not alone.  We need your help!  Please consider donating on Giving Tuesday.
