Loaves & Fishes is a 501(c)3 nonprofit established in 1991 to eliminate hunger in Greenville County by rescuing food that would otherwise go to waste. Though many of our food agency partners are in places of worship, L&F is not religiously affiliated. We donate surplus food to secular groups, nonprofit partners, and religious partners of all kinds. Our drivers and volunteers rescue food and deliver it free of charge to 151 local food partner agencies (102 active in 2022). The Loaves & Fishes model ensures that when food is pulled from a grocery store shelf to be rescued it is put on a dinner table the same day, typically. Unlike most food rescues, we do not store, or warehouse rescued food, keeping our costs low and the return on investment high. Since 1991 we have rescued over 43M pounds of food in Greenville County from over 150 grocery stores, factories, farms, and restaurants in the Upstate. As the oldest and largest food rescue in the Upstate, it is our mission to eliminate food waste and food insecurity across the Greenville County food ecosystem. We are building a sustainable, resilient, and inclusive food structure that optimizes environmental resources, minimizes climate impacts, and makes the best use of the food we grow.

Reduce food insecurity and improve community health - In an area that is so agriculturally abundant, we still struggle to ensure everyone has access to fresh to fruits and vegetables. Our produce is distributed, at no cost, to many locations around Adams and Franklin counties to increase the number of access points for our community members. Connect our community - We are a community solution to food insecurity. We work with a large network of growers, community partners, and volunteers to make our mission as efficient and impactful as possible. Our Vision: The Gleaning Project strives for a more equitable and sustainable food system. We envision a South Central Pennsylvania where farmers are supported, the local food economy is thriving, and everyone can access enough food to lead a healthy, active lifestyle.
