“I read the previous review, and felt compelled to write one of my own. I've shopped at Loaves and Fishes many times. I've found a myriad of treasures to take home and bring back to their best condition... I love tinkering, repairing old things... and frankly... this store is a tinkerer's treasure chest. It's not a Wall Street store, it's a community mission. not for profit facility that sells what it sells to cover the costs of services provided to those in need. As they say on their own website, "Loaves and Fishes of Beaufort strives to serve the needs of our community in the best and most effective way possible while bringing Glory to our God. We envision more churches, organizations and individuals joining us in the cause of helping others in Jesus´ name. Our goal is to minister to the whole person, physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually." Loaves and fishes provided a program called, Backpack Blessings for children with real needs in the local schools. Loaves and Fishes is the support behind the Harker's Island Food Pantry. The Food Bank of Central & Eastern N.C. provides a “mobile pantry” at the Harkers Island Fire Department at 1219 Island Rd. The pantry is held on the last Thursday of each month at 1pm. Food items include fresh vegetables, non-perishables and many other items depending on availability. and the L&F food pantry right there at 1700 Live Oak Rd. I've seen the families that have received help... and trust me... they are appreciative. Loaves and Fishes provides a residential treatment program that is a Christ-centered program for men struggling with substance abuse, and what they are doing IS working.I've seen some of the success storied. Outpatient counseling is also available for men and women struggling with substance abuse.So, no, it's not the fanciest store around... but for one who is willing to actually look the treasures abound. Not only with the things that one can buy and restore... but to me just as important, are the lives that they help restore. I am quite certain that I will visit that amazing store, many times more.
