Loaves & Fishes was founded in Greenville in 1991 after local banker Sam Hunt read about City Harvest, a food rescue organization in New York City. Knowing that hunger was a problem in Greenville and recognizing that a significant amount of high quality perishable food was being discarded rather than effectively utilized to feed the hungry, he engaged a number of his contacts in founding Loaves & Fishes.
From that first year, when 25,000 pounds were rescued, Loaves & Fishes has grown to rescue and deliver over 2.1 million pounds of food to our nearly 100 partner agencies in Greenville County.
