The Fish & Loaves Ministry is an extension of the DPC outreach ministry and is divided two main parts: meal assembly & distribution. Based on Matthew 25:35-36, we aim to provide a free meal and essential items to those in need in our local community. We also help connect our guests with community organizations that may be able to meet their particular needs.
Volunteers from the local community gather at DPC every Saturday from 8:30am – 10:30am to serve a free sit-down meal, distribute essentials, and offer a space of respite to those in need within our community. We are always excited to welcome additional volunteers – bring a friend, your family, co-workers, or small group! Complimentary parking is provided in the SP+ garage on 4th Ave. Consider serving just 1 Saturday each quarter, or perhaps even once a month.
You can also make a monetary donation by clicking the image below & selecting “Fish & Loaves Meal Ministry” from the drop-down menu. Your contributions will help offset the costs of the meal ministry, and are greatly appreciated! All donations are tax-deductible.

Please note: We are no longer collecting or distributing clothing at DPC. We recommend the Restoration Point ministry housed at McKendree United Methodist Church. Their greatest need is men’s apparel and shoes. They also welcome volunteers from 9:30-12:30 on Thursday mornings.
