Dear Friends of the Soup Kitchen:

In 2006, 45,383 meals were served by the Enfield Loaves & Fishes Soup Kitchen, with 18,644 meals, or approximately 41%, being served to children. This is a sad and sobering reminder of the ever-growing problem of hunger within our own community. Another 6,353 meals were provided for home consumption to families in emergency situations. These less fortunate people are in need of your help. In addition, 9,175 snacks were prepared for children in after school programs of Educational Resources for Children (ERfC).

Sincerely,
