Holiday Spirit Was Evident at Loaves and Fishes Annual Christmas Dinner
Over 130 adults got into the holiday spirit at Loaves and Fishes annual Christmas Dinner, which was held for clients on December 23 at the Immanuel Congregational Church at 10 Woodland Street in Hartford.
Everyone was entertained by the Simsbury High School’s Holiday Cabaret singers who performed a variety of Christmas Carols throughout the lunchtime event. The students also donated over $2,000 that they raised through musical performances at local businesses and private parties. The Holiday Cabaret singers have been helping Loaves and Fishes for over 20 years.
Loaves & Fishes Ministries Inc. is a non-profit that began 30 years ago as a soup kitchen in Hartford’s Asylum Hill neighborhood. Currently, the soup kitchen serves an average of 130 meals daily Monday through Friday. But over the years, the non-profit has evolved into an organization that helps its clients reach personal responsibility and financial independence through education, counseling, and economic development programs.
