Everyone is welcome at Loaves & Fishes.  There are no eligibility requirements.

When you walk through our door you will find lots of friendly people and a delicious, healthy home-cooked meal and salad bar. You are welcome to get second and third servings too. We always offer a vegetarian option.

Free meals are served each weekday, including on all holidays except Thanksgiving.

Doors open one-half hour before meal service for coffee and conversation. It is also nice to come at this time when the weather is rainy, too hot, or too cold.
