About Loaves & Fishes Family Kitchen

Given the rising cost of housing, gas, utilities, and other necessities, statistics show that 1 in every 3 people in Santa Clara and San Mateo counties is at risk for food insecurity. That’s why, for over 40 years, Loaves & Fishes Family Kitchen has provided hot and nutritious meals to feed hungry families, children, seniors, veterans, students, and disabled individuals in the Bay Area. All are welcome, no questions asked. 

Founded in 1980, Loaves & Fishes Family Kitchen is one of the largest nonprofit prepared meal providers in Silicon Valley and the San Francisco Bay Area at large. We are the last line of defense for the most vulnerable among us.
