Welcome to Loaves and Fishes at St Stephen's

Loaves and Fishes, a ministry of St. Stephen and the Incarnation Episcopal Church, has served lunch to the hungry and homeless on Saturdays, Sundays and federal holidays since 1968. Since most Washington food programs serve only on weekdays, the program offers a crucial service to its guests, some of whom travel across the city to be able to eat on the weekend. The program serves the Mt. Pleasant community in Washington, D.C. and is supported by a number of churches and volunteer organizations from around the D.C. metro area.

The following is a list of supplies we need every weekend (we serve around 200 plates on Saturdays and 300 on Sundays on average). Most of these supplies cost around $10-15 for 500 servings, especially when you buy in bulk at places like Costco:
