My Nonprofit Reviews

I moved to Sacramento in 1984. One November night in 1985, I came out of a restaurant on Broadway and saw a man outside in the cold and rain. He was homeless, shivering and I gave him a small amount of money. I could not believe that a person could be in such dire straits. Over the next 30 years I saw the homeless population in Sacramento increase exponentially and it has broken my heart. Starting in 1990, I worked across the street from Loaves and Fishes and saw the migration of the homeless population coming and going throughout the day. I have been a donor to Loaves and Fishes since that time. I have seen in person the great need of people who have so much less. This in the 'richest country in the world.' Loaves and Fishes provides much needed food, shelter and services as well as advocacy for long term solutions to homelessness. I have known staff at Loaves and Fishes and have been inspired by their dedication. I believe in this organization so much that I have named it in my will. Meanwhile, I am happy to contribute now to any specific drives that Loaves and Fishes promotes. Homelessness is a serious social issue for Sacramento, and the population that L&F serves are our brothers and sisters.
