Donations will help us prepare our Thanksgiving feast and the extra meal we will be providing to our guests. Enfield Loaves and Fishes will be closed on Thanksgiving Day and wish to ensure that everyone who needs a meal will be provided with enough to eat until we open again on Friday, November 26.

Thank you to the Enfield Youth Soccer Club and the Enfield Police Explorers for volunteering to help Enfield Loaves and Fishes provide for our community during the upcoming holidays.
We appreciate the constant support and generosity from our residents. Without your support, we could not continue the battle against hunger.
