Inflation hitting your food budget hard? It can be difficult to find money to pay your own grocery bill, let alone pay it forward.
​

​
This Good Friday, millions of Christians will be skipping meals as part of our commemoration of Jesus' ultimate sacrifice. What if we all donated the few dollars we would have spent on groceries and give it to those who have none?

Make your fasting tangible and join the Five Loaves Project as Jesus takes our fasts and quickly multiplies them.
