Mission Statement
Mobile Loaves & Fishes, Inc. is a social outreach ministry to the homeless and indigent working poor that provides food, clothing and dignity to our brothers and sisters in need.

The Ministry
Mobile Loaves & Fishes began in Austin, Texas, as a ministry of St. John Neumann Catholic Church and is currently serving Austin's homeless utilizing two catering trucks and 800 active volunteers. St. Thomas More has developed a "branch" ministry under the Mobile Loaves & Fishes 5013c charter and is operating a third truck for the ministry here in Austin and we currently have over 600 volunteers. A fourth truck is also in operation at St. Louis parish. This allows the Austin homeless and indigent working poor to receive more than 7,000 meals (and other assistance) each month. The STM Mobile Loaves & Fishes ministry operates out of the Fisher house (just behind the Religious Education building on the STM campus). The Fisher garage and a large side room have been converted into a commissary complete with the required shelving, lighting, food preparation and truck-staging facilities. There are several ways for parishioners to participate in Mobile Loaves & Fishes:

• as a volunteer on a Make-Ready Team (requires approximately 1 hour per month)
• as a volunteer on a Truck Team (requires 2-4 hours one day each month)
• by donating time to help in support activities such as communications, clothes sorting
• by donating money
• by prayer support
