By Steph Renz, Program Manager, Loaves & Fishes FOCUS Atlanta
Based at Saint John the Wonderworker Orthodox Church at 543 Cherokee Avenue (at Orleans Street) in Grant Park, Loaves & Fishes FOCUS Atlanta is dedicated to serving those experiencing homelessness and hunger in Atlanta.
Loaves & Fishes is a nonprofit program that provides both food and essential items — fostering hope, dignity, and connection through Christ’s love. Our work supports transformative outcomes, from helping individuals secure stable housing and medical care, to building community through shared meals. Hours of operation are Monday through Friday, 7:00am to 10:30am. Coffee, a warm meal, and a sack lunch are provided each day.
As a local organization based here in Grant Park, we are eager to engage the neighborhood and invite participation through volunteering, donations, or simply spreading the word. Please feel free to contact me at srenz@focusna.org to discuss how we might work together. We’re excited about the possibility of connecting with the Grant Park community and NPU-W at large!
