Remembering with Gratitude – Memorial Day 2025 As we prepare for Memorial Day tomorrow, all of us at Loaves and Fishes of Harlingen pause to honor the courageous men and women who gave their lives in service to our country. Their sacrifice makes our work possible. The freedom we enjoy—including the ability to serve the hungry, the homeless, and the hurting—is built on their selfless acts. This Memorial Day, we remember them with deep respect, and we carry their legacy forward by lifting others up—one meal, one shelter night, one act of compassion at a time. We remember. We serve. We are grateful. #MemorialDay #LoavesAndFishesHarlingen #HonorAndServe #GratitudeInAction (fb)

Today marks 4 years since I was given the incredible opportunity to serve as Executive Director at Loaves & Fishes. I remain deeply grateful to our Board of Directors for placing their trust in me—your belief laid the foundation for everything we’ve been able to build together. These past four years have been filled with challenges, growth, and purpose. I’m proud of the work we’ve done, humbled by the people I’ve met, and inspired daily by the resilience and generosity of this community. Thank you to our staff, volunteers, donors, and everyone who continues to make this mission real. The work is far from over—and I’m more committed than ever to the road ahead. With much gratitude, 🙏🏼 Victor Rivera (fb)
