What is a Client-Choice Food Pantry? |
A client-choice food pantry model allows clients the opportunity to choose food like they would at a grocery store. At Fish & Loaves, clients are able to choose from a wide variety of fresh produce, dairy, bread, frozen meat, canned goods, and shelf stable items. The client-choice model also reduces food waste and improves food distribution.

Saturday Fresh Market is a program focused on providing fresh produce and dairy to the community. Every Saturday, people in need are able to drive thru at Fish & Loaves and receive 25 pounds of produce and dairy between 9am-12pm while supplies last. On average, 800 cars are served each week, and with this comes a huge need for volunteers.
Individuals, employees, groups, churches, clubs, etc. can sign up online to volunteer for this program. Click here to sign up or reach out to [email protected] with any questions. |
