Loaves & Fishes has served marginalized communities and people living in poverty by providing free meals and advocacy services within Tompkins County for 40 years. Everyone who comes to our doors is welcome.

We recognize that having enough food, proper physical and mental health care, and housing are human rights — basic needs that everyone should have fulfilled. We also acknowledge that Black, Brown, Latinx, Indigenous, and other people of color historically and currently suffer disproportionally from these basic needs being unmet.

Loaves & Fishes stands committed to centering, modeling and promoting inclusion, anti-racism, equity and diversity within every aspect of our organization.
