The impact of COVID-19 on our Community's health and economy has been swift and severe. In early March, Loaves & Fishes never could have imagined that by month's end they would be feeding three (3) times the number of people, in a brand new way, with limited access to our greatest resource - our Volunteers. To meet demand, Loaves & Fishes made changes at every level of their operation:


  • Switching from 41 brick and mortar pantries in Mecklenburg Co. to mobile pantry food distribution - 20 locations  operating 6 days a week.
  • Packing a week's supply of groceries into thousands of emergency food boxes.
  • Changing client eligibility from 8 visits per year to 12.
  • ​Launching a home delivery program that now serves 250+ home bound individuals a week.
  • ​Increasing collaboration with community partners such as Second Harvest Food Bank and CMS Child Nutrition Services.
  • Distributing fresh produce and dairy through Pop Up Food Shares as part pf the federal Farm to Family Food Box program. These Food Shares have expanded to five days a week and are in addition to our mobile pantry distributions.
  • On July 20, they surpassed the number of people who received a week's worth of groceries in all of 2019!!!, enough to fill Bank of America Stadium.  Half were children and seniors.
