The mission of Loaves & Fishes Family Kitchen is to provide nutritious prepared meals that are delivered and served to disadvantaged individuals with a special concern for families, seniors, and the homeless. In 2019, Loaves & Fishes Family Kitchen integrated A La Carte into our portfolio of services to the homeless and hungry throughout Santa Clara and San Mateo Counties. A La Carte is a unique and innovative program designed to change how food recovery is being approached while addressing the issues of hunger and waste. Performing all aspects of the program's operations — from partnership development and support and receipt of meals to delivery and distribution - Loaves & Fishes will double our meal service capacity from 547,000 meals to over 1,035,000 meals each year and enable us to extend our services to include food recovery — a growing component in hunger relief.
