Loaves & Fishes Community Services
Aurora, IL
Loaves & Fishes Community Services is an anti-poverty, hunger-relief organization dedicated to providing healthy food and programs that promote self-sufficiency. Serving low-income families in southern DuPage County, the organization offers weekly access to nutritious food through a client-choice market, curbside pick-up, online ordering, and offsite deliveries. In addition, its CARES programs help prevent homelessness and support families through services such as emergency financial assistance, car donations, resource navigation, public benefits support, tax preparation, and job search assistance.
For it is in giving that we receive.
