About Me


Visit Reddingloavesandfishes Forum
Thanks to a generous donation of space, courtesy of Church of the Redeemed, (we could never possibly thank you enough for your Christian philanthropy!)a Holy Spirit partnership has been formed, making it possible to continue serving our communities basic hunger needs; (homeless, low income poverty, and those with food insecurities.) We support other food banks, church charities, and provide quality groceries and spiritual support to folks in Redding and Shasta County.
Redding California Loaves & Fishes Food Bank is a nonprofit, non salaried, all volunteer, nondenominational organization.100% of your monetary donations go to operational and food bank purchases.
We are against practices and laws that unfairly single out homeless people and criminalize them for everyday living and life-sustaining activites.
Food and gas prices have risen, and so has hunger, both physical and spiritual in our community. We continue to see an increase in single mothers with children in extreme poverty, often on the verge of homelessness.
At Redding California Loaves and Fishes Food Bank we believe the world is not looking for a better sermon on Christian Love, but a better demonstration of it !
Mission Statement:
"To honor God by seeing the face of Christ in every person we serve"
