Loaves and Fishes
Our soup kitchen near downtown Houston has been in continuous operation since 1968.

Loaves and Fishes

For the past 35 years, the soup kitchen has provided both spiritual and material sustenance to its clients.  Loaves and Fishes exists to give hope, to light a candle in the darkness of the streets of Houston.  We provide a hot meal and a warm welcome to those in danger of losing their sense of human dignity. 

Miryam's Hostel

Located above Loaves and Fishes Soup Kitchen is Miryam's Hostel, an emergency overnight shelter for street girls.  The Hostel gives women the chance to get off the street and enjoy a clean, comfortable, and safe place to spend the evening. 

The women are also provided with showering facilities, clothing, and two warm meals.   We have two permanent staff members at the hostel who offer the women referrals to long term shelters and drug abuse clinics.
