Every dollar you give helps feed families, fund critical programs, and meet urgent needs in our community. As food costs rise and more families face hardship, your support becomes even more vital. Your gift brings hope, dignity, and stability—because no child should go to bed hungry, and no parent should struggle alone. Together, we can make lasting change. Will you stand with us?
🍎 The Pantry – Fighting Hunger, Restoring Dignity.
Each week, our food pantry serves more than 600 families facing food insecurity. But it’s more than just groceries—it’s a place where people feel seen, valued, and supported. From fresh produce and proteins to diapers and household essentials, your donation helps fill more than just shopping carts—it fills hearts with hope.
🎁 Children’s Events – Moments of Joy That Last a Lifetime
We believe every child deserves to feel special. Our Christmas for the Children event brings warmth and wonder to over 400 kids with gifts, crafts, and family care packages. Our Back 2 School Bash sends students back to class with the supplies and confidence they need—plus food, fun, and unforgettable memories. These events lift burdens and bring joy when it’s needed most.
🌟 Beacon of Hope – Breaking the Cycle, Building Futures
Beacon of Hope is our wraparound program helping families move from crisis to stability. Through financial mentorship, mental health support, job readiness, and life skills, we empower individuals with tools for lasting change. It’s not a handout—it’s a hand-up. With your support, we’re giving families what they need to thrive, not just survive.
5 Loaves Ministry is designed to meet the needs of the most vulnerable members of our community - the children. It creates an atmosphere of love and support that changes lives and gives hope to those who need it most.
Begun in 2015, 5 Loaves received its registered 501(c)3 designation in 2017. Over time it has grown in service as well as respect in the community.
