Kalamazoo Loaves & Fishes



While going through this website, I found many great resources for anyone that would visit this site including teachers and students. Before surfing through the different pages, I looked for their history and 'about us' just to get a little background of what they are about.  I think it is great that churches downtown organized this organization to help people out that are in need of help.  The congregations decided to expand the food organization to assist the county of Kalamazoo.  I love that they are about helping hunger and just having the whole community be apart of this movement.  Another thing that I saw under commitments were that they provide high-quality food.  Even though they are feeding families and citizens that are in poverty, they want to provide them with the best food.  

Something else that I thought was beneficial was the information for teachers under the education tab.  There are lessons from Primary to Intermediate to Secondary school students that teach them about hunger and poverty.  Getting the community involved in this process but also getting the community to help Loaves & Fishes.  

Something that I want to do to help my community is to volunteer.  I found a calendar of events and there are a few dates to volunteer.  I want to try to get my roommates and friends to come with me to experience what it's like to be around food and the community.

  2. I agree, its so great that Loaves and Fishes has an educational outreach to school children. If we had been raised that way, all of these hunger issues would not have been such a surprise.
