Our Story
Founded in 1983 by Victor Scussel and his friends, Enfield Loaves and Fishes was inspired by the compassionate women of St. Andrew’s Church who fed the hungry in the community. Starting with just three meals a week from the church basement, the organization has expanded its services significantly. Under the leadership of Executive Director Maya Nicole Matthews since 2021, Enfield Loaves and Fishes now provides meals seven days a week, growing from 15,625 meals in 1992 to an impressive 70,125 meals in 2022, thanks to generous community donations and partnerships.
