Starting in February 2023, Loaves and Fishes meals will no longer be boxed as they have been since the Covid Pandemic started. Instead, Loaves and Fishes will revert to the original method of serving on plates.

Our Social Action Team recruits volunteers to prepare servings of various dishes and other volunteers to serve the meal and clean up afterward.

Both the volunteers providing food and those who will serve and clean up are asked to be at Wilkes Boulevard United Methodist Church by 4:30 p.m. Feb. 19. Cleanup usually takes until about 6:30 p.m.

Please submit receipts for all food items, and some or all of your expenses may be reimbursed by the church.

Loaves and Fishes was started in the mid-1980s by the St. Francis Catholic Worker community and serves a free community meal seven nights a week from 5 to 6 p.m. at Wilkes Boulevard United Methodist Church in partnership with that church and more than 20 other local faith communities and other organizations.

When you sign up below, you will receive a confirmation email. Please save the email because it will contain a link allowing you to cancel the signup if you need to. If you have misplaced or permanently deleted the confirmation email, email the website administrator to cancel a signup.

After you sign up, your name will be displayed on the signup sheet. The other information you provide goes only to church personnel. Your email is required so our system can automatically send you a reminder of your signup two days before Feb. 19.
