Why the Gala matters
At 5 Loaves Ministries, joy and generosity go hand in hand. The Gala is more than just a night out—it's a vital part of how we serve over 800 families every week. Proceeds support programs like The Mustard Seed Project, our one-on-one mentorship initiative; weekly food distribution; and essential services like diapers, clothing, and other programs. Funds raised also help make our seasonal outreach events possible, turning moments of need into moments of hope.
The evening itself is full of inspiration and connection. Guests enjoy a plated dinner, live entertainment, and a keynote speaker, all while hearing real stories from the people whose lives have been changed.
Both silent and live auctions give attendees a fun way to give back, and every moment offers the opportunity to celebrate community and create meaningful impact.
Whether you're a longtime supporter or joining us for the first time, the Gala is a powerful way to stand with your neighbors and help move families forward.
