Local Partner Loaves & Fishes Soup Kitchen moved into its new permanent location on Bowling Street in July 2026. We are serving an average of over 150 meals per night, 7 nights a week. We LOVE being a tenant of the new VAC Opportunity Campus, but bigger space means bigger expenses. "Our all-volunteer organization will serve more than 43,500 meals in 2026. CROP funds will help with supplies, rent and helping us welcome more volunteers into our family."

OUR COLUMBIA WALK IS PART OF A MUCH BIGGER PICTURE
In 2025, more than 40,000 walkers participated in over 400 CROP Hunger Walks across the United States to raise funds for Church World Service’s global food security programs and over 800 local hunger fighting programs.
