Caring For Those In Need
We choose to stay in Downtown Peoria because Jesus called us to this neighborhood.
Loaves & Fish (L&F) has been providing food for those in need in downtown Peoria every Saturday since 1994. And yet, we provide so much more!
L&F food ministry includes a well-stocked supply of meat, drinks, fruits, vegetables and breads. A medical clinic is offered by the University of Illinois School of Medicine and students from Bradley University. Abuse and addiction/ recovery referrals are provided by Trillium Place. We also offer toiletries (toilet paper, tissues, paper towels, feminine products, etc). A prayer ministry is available for anyone with special requests. And, fun activities are available for children ages 0-16 while adults wait for food.
Alive is a Saturday morning worship service at 10:15 AM – all are welcome and bring a friend!
