Five Loaves Project
So you fast on Ash Wednesday because well, that's what we do. You know it helps develop virtue, repent of vice, and rely more on God...but honestly? You end up thinking more of your grumbling tummy than the spiritual fruits.
But what if you could take your fasting further and bless someone else with it?
Because fasting isn't just saving your soul...those missed meals are also saving your wallet. 💵 With the Fast + Feed Calculator from Five Loaves Project, you can select what you would have eaten on a non-fasting day, and then donate that amount to a Catholic charity that provides food for the poor, passing your fasted plate of food to someone in need!

Inflation hitting your food budget? It can be difficult to find money to pay your own grocery bill, let alone pay it forward.

But if we all offer our meager five loaves and two fish with the humility of a child, Jesus can use it to impact thousands.

This Ash Wednesday, millions of Christians will be skipping meals as a day of fasting. What if we all donated the few dollars we would have spent on groceries that day and give it to those who have none?
"For I was hungry and you gave me food." - Matthew 25:35
