Plus Years of Feeding the Hungry
Loaves & Fishes Family Kitchen has been
serving the working poor, families, homeless and seniors living
in and around the downtown and East Side of San Jose for more
than 27 years. What began as a simple first meal of fish and
bread for 11 adults and 15 children has grown to 1,000 meals
per week, served with dignity.
Our work has been made possible because of
generous donations of money, and planned giving, from caring
individuals, families, small businesses and corporations.
Please
help us now to feed and care for those who don’t have
the resources we have.
Who We Are
Loaves & Fishes Family Kitchen is a nonprofit
organization that provides no-cost hot meals and support services
in a safe, caring, and friendly environment. Many men, women,
and children in our community cannot afford to eat adequate
food or have balanced meals.

Loaves & Fishes is committed to providing free, nutritious meals and support services in a dignified, safe, and caring environment. We provide these services to all needy individuals, with special concern for families and senior citizens.
History

of our community's families and seniors. Since our initial
meal, served to 26 guests on February 15, 1980, we have continuously
expanded our outreach. Today, we serve five meals each week
at our two kitchen locations combined, plus InnVision, to
an average of 200 guests per meal.
