Fishes and Loaves Food Pantry invites everyone out to their 11th annual Big Ol’ Mountain Country Breakfast on Saturday, July 1, from 7:00 A.M. until 11:00 A.M. at the Cashiers Community Center.
This Cashiers tradition is a must do, so start your Fourth of July weekend off with a belly full of home cooking and check your calorie and carb counters at the door. Sumptuous is the word that comes to mind when you see the enormous breakfast spread. Pancakes, bacon, eggs, sausage, mile-high buttermilk biscuits, coffee, milk, juice, and more await you.
One-hundred percent of the proceeds go right back to Fishes and Loaves, Cashiers’ emergency food pantry that performs the important work of providing food to families and individuals in need in Jackson County. In 2016 they provided over 2,000 eligible families with one or two boxes of food twice per month depending on the size of the family. Families could also take additional loose food items, such as seasonal fresh vegetables and fruits. A standard box of food includes three cans of vegetables, three cans of meat, three cans of fruit, cereal, two cans of soup, dried beans, rice, spaghetti, spaghetti sauce, macaroni & cheese, mashed potatoes, peanut butter, and frozen meat.
Special boxes of food with turkeys or hams are distributed prior to Easter, Thanksgiving, and Christmas each year. In cooperation with the Rotary Club of Cashiers Valley, free coats are distributed at the pantry during the winter.
