About
Loaves & Fishes Food Pantry feeds and serves the hungry of Hancock County, striving to eliminate food insecurity in our community.
Our story
Loaves & Fishes Food Pantry was created 40+ years ago by St. Joseph’s and St. Andrew’s parishes to support our neighbors facing food insecurity — a mission that today is more relevant than ever. We're a 501(c)(3) nonprofit supported exclusively by volunteers. We receive income from individual donors, businesses, municipalities, foundations and through community fundraising events.
​
We treat everyone with respect, so they leave the pantry with dignity and hope as well as groceries.
Our services
​
The pantry is like a small grocery store, with dry goods shelves, frozen food, fresh produce tables, and a bakery area. Clients are welcomed by a friendly receptionist, and a volunteer is available to help them shop.
