In the past year, we have served over 128,101 meals, of which nearly 36% were to children alone. Loaves and Fishes collaborated with Educational Resources for Children by supplying 108,116 snacks for eight schools with programs located at five sites, an increase nearly doubling that of last year. The equivalent of 42,798 meals were also provided to families in emergency situations. These numbers are sobering in a country of such prosperity and abundance of food.</span></div>

Oil prices have risen recently due to hurricanes, and the demand for heating oil in colder weather invariably causes a spike in costs. Please remember those less fortunate among us who constantly struggle with choices between food, health care, medicine, housing, and heat. While the economy is struggling, the demand on the Soup Kitchen is increasing every day.</span></div>

Give the Gift of Giving this year in the Enfield, CT area by donating to <a href="http://www.enfieldloavesandfishes.com/" target="_blank">Enfield Loaves and Fishes.</a> Giving to others increases the capacity to love. Even if you don't have much, sharing with others will enrich your life. Research shows that generosity positively affects our health. An article in <a href="https://health.usnews.com/health-news/health-wellness/articles/2015/05/01/what-generosity-does-to-your-brain-and-life-expectancy" target="_blank">US News</a> discusses how philanthropy "doles out several different happiness chemicals" in your brain. <b>Philanthropy comes with perks! </b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
Giving releases dopamine and endorphins that give you a sense of euphoria. Regular giving to others in need will give you a sense of belonging, and inner peace. </div>

You Become Part of The Bigger Picture</h3>
<div style="text-align: left;">
You may not be able to donate much, but remember, you become part of the bigger picture. Donations are combined so that they meet the goal of helping others. Donations of time, money, or items, it doesn't matter, at some point someone will be in need and appreciate the gift. And a gift it is. To both you and the recipient. Be grateful that you have food to eat, clean water to drink and a place to live. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
Share the Gift of Giving</h3>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Giving in the name of another spreads the good feeling. It engages others to take a look at their donation habits and encourages them to give and feel good. You are spreading the good feeling and the sense of belonging. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Here at Enfield Loaves & Fishes we not only feed the hungry, we encourage those in need to see the good in our community and become part of the bigger picture. Many of those we have helped return to help others. Our mission is to provide meals and fellowship to the poor, hungry and disenfranchised within our community. This simple act had developed into a large cycle of giving. More than providing food, anyone can ask for help in any area and we do our best to make sure their needs are met. By doing this, those in need become those who assist others in need.</div>
