Our Five Loaves Two Fish Kitchen continues to respond to any requests for food that we can possibly manage. Since our Kitchen Ministry first started, we bave been making special meals for individuals in our community and congregation who are struggling with illness or loss. We also make casserolses each week that are frozen by our partners at Family Promise and given out to families that are struggling to feed their families. We have even been baking extra cookies each week for our congregation to enjoy between services. Our kitchen is only able to sustain these blessings through the generosity of all of you! We thank you for your donations of time, food and funds!
You can donate through Simply Giving by desiginating a one time, weekly, or monthly donation to our kitchen. You can also donate by using the QR code mentioned by Stewardship or during weekly church services.
Thank you!
What do we do?
Five Loaves Two Fish Kitchen prepares and delivers 200 meals per week to places around the Mat-Su Valley in need of food. We prepare food for My House Homeless Teens Resource Center, Knik House, Family Promise, Next Step and many others. Our goal is to provide food for hungry people.
History
In 2014 the kitchen ministries of Five Loaves Two Fish was initially made possible by a construction and equipment grant from Mat-Su Health Foundation. Good Shepherd members donated in-kind labor and donated to furnish the utensils and small equipment.
Volunteers
The success of the kitchen mission is due to the devotion of many volunteers. Success would not be possible without the people who help with cooking and administering the 10,000 meals that were prepared in the first two years. Cooking volunteers are needed every week at 9:30 a.m. Thursday and Friday. If you are able to volunteer, please contact
Duane Hanson through our email at kitchen@goodshepluth.org.
Commercially wrapped game meat or fish is always welcome in the kitchen and will be much appreciated. We can only use it, though, if it has been processed and wrapped commercially, according to DEC regulations. If you are planning to bring in margarine, butter, game meat or fish, please notify the office in advance to allow the Kitchen staff to receive and refrigerate them.
