Loaves and Fishes
Cathy Maes and Patti Sinykin

Cathy Maes, Executive Director, gave an overview of the Loaves and Fishes mission and growth since joining the group in 2017.  The organization works to procure food and provide meals that are open to the public.  One of the neat ways they procure food is by rescuing food that would be thrown away from the Minneapolis airport - grab and go sandwiches, salads, and yogurts, and turning them into meals and snacks.
 
Loaves and Fishes operates 4 farms (Coon Rapids, St. Paul, Eagan, and Richfield) and operates on an annual budget of 3.6 million.
