Loaves & Fishes was officially incorporated on August 6, 1991 as a 501(c) (3),
not-for-profit corporation, for the purpose and mission of providing food and
other essentials to Naperville residents in need.
Thus, Loaves & Fishes
was born out of the collective social conscience of our citizenry, and has been
sustained through a continually responsive call to action to utilize all
resources at our disposal to end hunger in our community.
