SERVICES
Family Support Services
Each month we gather to support Loaves and Fishes families. Family Nights are held monthly to celebrate parents' and guardians' commitment to the children's success and to equip them with informational tools for a safe and healthy home life. After the meal, the adults attend a presentation or workshop on a topic that is critical to their children's well-being with topics ranging from effective budgeting to credit usage to gang prevention while the children are involved in fun activities that are also teaching them life skills.

We also have Youth Social Groups led by Classroom Facilitators who meet once a month for each grade. They get together for outings and life skills activities. They help LAF staff to develop long-term relationships with the children that will help support them through their journey.
