Water Donations Needed

News, , ,

Summer has arrived in Sacramento and a lack of water is an existential threat to unsheltered persons living on our streets. As one of its many services, Loaves & Fishes provides  bottled water to guests at their campus, persons living in encampments throughout the metro region and those on the street with no shelter. Loaves and Fishes is accepting donations of bottled water now to maintain adequate supplies as demand ramps up this summer. All sizes are acceptable but 16 – 24 oz. bottles are preferred. 

Water donations are now being accepted at:

Loaves & Fishes Warehouse
1351 North “C” Street, Sacramento
Weekdays between 7 am and 2:45 pm

If you have a large donation (pallet load) or further questions re water donations, please contact Julie Rowley, Director of Finance and Procurement <julie@sacloaves.org> in advance.
