So before this trip was planned I wouldn't have went to this place. To be honest I knew nothing of it so I went to their website and checked it out. I clicked on history and here's what it said: Kalamazoo Loaves & Fishes was organized in 1982 by several downtown churches concerned about increasing requests from people for food assistance. The congregations joined together to share resources and create an organized response to local hunger and formed Kalamazoo Loaves & Fishes. I didn't know that they started from churches, I absolutely love that!! I reviewed their vision, mission & values and it shows that they really care about the community. I can't wait to go visit tomorrow, I was wondering if they need volunteers to come help out because that's something I would love to participate in!!!!! Here's the history of their logo "We began implementing our current logo in 2011, around the time of our 30th anniversary of service for this wonderful community. The current logo still connects us to our past - to our roots in the faith community. The changes are subtle, and yet incorporate a fresh, clean look to move us into the future. It includes a new “tagline,” which now reads: “Promoting a Hunger-Free Community Since 1982,” something that also reflects our new vision and mission."
I really like the new logo. I also do have to agree with you that it is amazing that this organization was started by multiple churches. Although they are no longer a religious organization, but still work with many churches, they are making such a huge impact on the community one person at a time.
