If you or someone you know is in need of a healthy, nourishing meal, we’re here to help at meal sites throughout Santa Clara and San Mateo counties.

Good food should be simple to find and available to all.

So grateful for the opportunity to host the Red Cross Silicon Valley Board meeting in June.

We’re glad to hear the meeting was so well received, and we hope you felt welcomed and supported. A heartfelt “thank-you!” to our board members, partners, and community leaders who helped make the event so impactful.

Looking forward to joining forces with the Red Cross to engage volunteers and donors, and to collaborate on disaster relief!

We are so grateful to https://www.facebook.com/SupBettyDuong and District 2 for supporting Loaves & Fishes Family Kitchen and our commitment to making nutritious food more accessible to our neighbors. ❤️

This grant will help us continue our Closer to Home program, bringing fully prepared, nutritious meals directly into District 2 neighborhoods through trusted community locations and school sites.

For many families, seniors, and working individuals who are facing food insecurity, getting to a traditional food distribution site can be difficult because of limited transportation, hourly work schedules, or limited access to a kitchen. By bringing meals directly into the neighborhood, we can remove some of those barriers and make food assistance more available and consistent.

This investment is about more than meals. It’s about meeting people where they are, building trust, and making sure our neighbors have greater opportunities to thrive.

Thank you, Supervisor Duong for recognizing the importance of food equity and for investing in the health and well-being of our community. We’re honored to put this support to work for our neighbors. 💛

There are lots of opportunities to join us in our work.

Volunteer opportunities include helping in our kitchen, planting or weeding in our community garden, serving meals at our Community Meal sites, and sorting and packing groceries.

Your time helps us keep costs down, provide more meals, and continue welcoming every hungry person who comes to us.

Summer can be a joyful season, but for seniors, homebound neighbors, and kids facing food insecurity, hot days can make everyday needs harder to manage.

Through our five food programs, we help make summer brighter by providing free, nutritious meals to those in need in our community.

When we say Food is Medicine, we mean it literally.

Your support helps us serve meals that do more than fill stomachs—they also support health, recovery, and thriving. Through our Medically Tailored Meals (MTM) and our Meals on Wheels (MOW) programs, we’re serving nearly 1,000 homebound seniors and individuals living with chronic illness, with meals and services that support optimal health.

We know that what you eat can change everything, because we witness it.
After suffering multiple organ failures, anxiety, and depression, Fernando didn’t recognize himself. Our MTM program helped him learn healthier eating habits, lose weight, and repair his body. Today, he’s hopeful about what’s ahead.

Up to 2,000 additional meals every month.

That is what becomes possible when good food is rescued, nutritious ingredients are put to use, and meals reach the people who need them.

With support from our joint venture with Hunger at Home, we can help provide more meals for children, seniors, families, and neighbors across our community.

Good food should go where it can do the most good.

Closer to Home means bringing nourishment right to the neighborhoods that need it most.

With your support, we’ve expanded our Community Meals serving sites so more hungry families can find free, warm meals close by. Adding the Jerry Larson FoodBasket and bringing two new school sites in the Alum Rock School District into our Community Meals network helps strengthen food security in high-need areas.

We’re also continuing to add more serving locations and refine our offerings to make it easier to access meals.

Thank you for believing that everyone deserves good food and helping us bring it into more neighborhoods.

Loaves & Fishes and Hunger at Home share a simple belief: good food should feed people, not go to waste. Now, we’re working together to rescue more nutritious food and turn it into more meals for our neighbors.

Through this joint venture, recovered protein and produce will help reduce the cost of preparing community meals while allowing more quality ingredients to reach the people who need them most.

Because when we work together, more neighbors are fed.
