Mission
Pajaro Valley Loaves and Fishes (PVLF) provides food free of charge to those in need through its Hot Lunch and Pantry Programs. Our work alleviates hunger among homeless, elderly, and disabled individuals, as well as low-income families residing in the Pajaro Valley. Many participants are seasonal farmworkers employed in local agriculture. PVLFs mission is to alleviate hunger and nourish the community through nutritious food offered with dignity and compassion.
Program accomplishments

Meals include salads, vegetables, fruits, breads, and protein sources such as meat, beans, or eggs. Most ingredients are provided by the USDA, Second Harvest Food Bank, and local donors.During the fiscal year, PVLF served approximately 25,000 meals to hungry individuals, an additional 2,000 meals to staff, volunteers, and trainees, and nearly 5,000 second helpingstotaling over 32,000 hot meals. These meals reduce hunger and provide consistent nutrition for vulnerable neighbors.2.Pantry Program:PVLFs pantry distributes groceries three days each week, offering fresh produce, protein, and culturally appropriate staples. In total, the pantry provided more than 425,000 meals equivalent throughout the year.
