Sacramento Loaves & Fishes is a mid-sized nonprofit and one of the largest homeless service providers in Sacramento, California. Each day it serves nearly 1,000 adults and children experiencing homelessness or extreme poverty, operating from a 4.5-acre campus that hosts a range of services beyond meals. The organization delivers meals along with showers, laundry, a school for homeless children, mental health counseling, legal advice, on-site resources from partner organizations, overnight shelter for women, and daily respite for families. Founded in 1983 by Chris and Dan Delany, the organization is governed by a community-based board and relies on grassroots support rather than government funding. In 2016 it expanded to open a new location in Virginia City, Nevada, illustrating its regional outreach beyond Sacramento.
