Kalamazoo Loaves & Fishes

Mission

Kalamazoo Loaves & Fishes was organized in 1982 by several downtown churches concerned about increasing requests from people for food assistance. The congregations joined together to share resources and create an organized response to local hunger, forming Kalamazoo Loaves & Fishes. Despite strong partnerships with the faith-based community, Kalamazoo Loaves & Fishes is not a religious organization. Over the years, the number of food distribution sites and programs have expanded, and Kalamazoo Loaves & Fishes has become the largest charitable food organization in Kalamazoo County. Although the Grocery Pantry Program is still the largest of KLF's programs, we work with others to provide prepared meal support, senior commodity programs, agency food support, food packs for children, and other community food programs. We work hard to promote a hunger-free community through programs and advocacy work.
