Loaves & Fishes Food Pantry, Inc., is the largest distribution partner east of the Blue Ridge of the Blue Ridge Area Food Bank (BRAFB). As a BRAFB partner agency, Loaves & Fishes gives out two different United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) food programs, The Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAP) and the Commodity Supplemental Food Program (CSFP). In 2017, seventy percent of our groceries came from these sources: 42% from donations to the Food Bank passed through to the pantry, and another 28% from the USDA TEFAP and CSFP programs.

We also accept donations of food directly from local grocers, farmers, orchards, food distributors, and food drives. Below is a downloadable pie chart of the sources for our groceries.
