Event Description:

Loaves & Fishes Family Kitchen, a non-profit organization has been serving the working poor, families, homeless and seniors living in and around the downtown and East Side of San Jose for close to 30 years. What began as a simple first meal of fish and bread for 11 adults and 15 children has grown to nearly 500 meals per day, served with dignity. These no-cost hot meals are offered to our clients in a safe, caring, and friendly environment.

What we'll be doing:

Volunteers for Loaves Family Kitchen may be asked to help with setting up our dining room for dinner, preparing salad, serving and clean up.

What you should know:

Wear clothes you can work in. No open toe-shoes or heels, no shorts or short skirts, shirts must have sleeves (no tank or halter tops) and should not be low cut or show the midriff. Medium or long hair must be pulled back; we have hair ties if anyone forgets.

Please leave any valuables at home or in your car (i.e. iPod, purse, etc). There is a small office but it is not locked during meal service. They do have space to store coats, keys, and other small items.

Remember to bring some $ for our after event dinner social.

If you have the possibility of bringing a gallon of milk Loaves & Fishes would be eternally grateful!

Loaves & Fishes Family Kitchen:

Loaves & Fishes Family Kitchen is committed to providing nutritious meals and support services in a dignified, safe and caring environment for our guests. We provide these services to all needy individuals, with special concern for families and senior citizens. Loaves & Fishes was founded in 1980 to fill a void in the community for these special populations. Our kitchen now serves meals five days each week at our two kitchen locations. In keeping with the theme of innovation in Silicon Valley, Loaves & Fishes has evolved into "Soup Kitchen 2.0" allowing us to serve over 30,000 meals each month and we are on track to serve over 350,000 meals this year. Up 109% from 2015 and still growing. Loaves & Fishes Family Kitchen does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, ethnic origin, religion, gender, age, handicap or sexual orientation.
