Loaves & Fishes Community Services celebrated 35 years of fighting hunger at its annual Night to End Hunger fundraiser on September 6. Over 225 guests enjoyed dinner, cocktails, and live entertainment at Elements at Water Street in downtown Naperville. Guests celebrated the incredible growth and inspiring moments in the nonprofit’s history. More than $335,000 was raised to support those in our community who are seeking relief from hunger and poverty. ABC-7 Eyewitness News Sports Team weekend anchor and reporter Dionne Miller served as the evening’s emcee.
“We are honored and grateful to have received our community’s tremendous support for 35 years,” says CEO Mike Havala. “Every single day Loaves & Fishes is committed to providing healthy food and impactful programs to help struggling families become more self-sufficient.”
In celebration of its 35th anniversary, Loaves & Fishes has created an online guestbook; visit loaves-fishes.org to read the entries, or find information on volunteering or making financial or automobile donations.
