Thank you to the entire SUNY Cortland ceramics class pictured here!  Their involvement in our Empty Bowls fundraiser is crucial to the success of the event.  This year students made and donated over 120 bowls, most all of which sold at the silent auction and exhibit table.  Thank you Hannah Carver, instructor, 4th from right, for your direction to students to produce such creative pieces.  Brookley Abbate, far left, a SUNY Cortland alumni from this program and art teacher at the Homer Jr High school, initiated this relationship with the college and has kept it moving forward for  15 years.  Thanks to all who helped make our Empty Bowls event this year a success.

The staff and board of directors are very proud and honored to be chosen as the 2023 Non-Profit of the Year by the Cortland Chamber of Commerce.  Executive Director Kim Hill, strives each day to provide a nutritious meal in a safe setting, with genuine hospitality for all our guests.  It is only with her commitment to excellence and the desire to feed those in need that we could even be considered for this award. Loaves & Fishes has extended this mission to address food insecurity in our community by funding six school food programs.  These initiatives provide weekend meals to those at risk students in our local school districts, and will serve approximately 25,000 meals annually in these six programs. Our sincere gratitude is extended to the Cortland Chamber of Commerce [...]

A big thank you to the NYSEG Cortland office employees for the food donations collected to support the efforts of Cortland Loaves & Fishes.  The donated items will be used in the free daily meal program that serves about 100 patrons each day.  Thank you NYSEG Cortland!

A huge "thank you" goes out to the Feed Our Neighbors group of Grace & Holy Spirit Church for serving meals for two weeks this summer. Our staff enjoyed a much needed vacation, and our guests did not miss a meal. We are so thankful for your generosity and willingness to help!
