Showing Mercy in our Community

Loaves and Fishes is a SRPC ministry that regularly buys, prepares and serves meals to 150 or so homeless people in the inner city every Sunday. Once every three months we serve meals, present the Gospel and build relationships with the people who come to be fed. Each time we have a different team of volunteers from Spring Run Presbyterian Church that go downtown to serve.

“The Conrad Center provides a hot breakfast and dinner to those in need and is the only regular program of its kind in the Richmond area. Serving an average of 300 people five days a week, the Conrad Center will prepare and serve more than 48,000 meals in 2010 alone. Every plate comes with a full-course, nutritious meal and is served in a clean environment that fosters mutual respect, gratitude and appreciation for others. The program opens the front door to Freedom House giving many the hope and encouragement they need to change their lives. In fact, the program serves as the first step toward recovery for many homeless persons.” Conrad Center, 1400 Oliver Hill Way, Richmond, VA. www.freedomhouserichmond.org
