Partnered with 5 Loaves & 2 Fish

Since 2020, 5 Loaves and 2 Fish has been serving the Lakeside community with more than just food. What began as a neighborhood pantry has grown into a hub of support—offering a diaper bank, Bible studies, ministry events, and annual Christmas Blessings that include a Christmas tree distribution. Rooted in faith and community care, this nonprofit continues to meet real needs while spreading hope, one family at a time.

5 Loaves & 2 Fish is hosting their 2nd Rummage Giveaway- a free community event that provides clothing and household items to neighbors.

📆Dates: June 16-17 & 19-20
🕚Time: 12:30-3:30PM

We genuinely appreciate all the work 5 Loaves & 2 Fish puts into their community. To learn more about their mission, volunteer your time, or learn where you can donate, visit their website here.

👔 Dad Jokes So Good They Hurt (a little)

In honor of Father’s Day, we asked a few local dads to share their best (and worst) jokes—and y’all, just bear with us on this and choose your fave at the end…

I used to hate facial hair...
But then it grew on me.
-Mark, Dad of 2

I don’t need ‘dad jokes.’
I’m actually funny.
-Chris, Dad of 4

I only know 25 letters of the alphabet.
I don’t know y.
-Qualan, Dad of 3

Why do dads always tell the same jokes?
Because they’re on a dad-a-base.
-Jerry, Dad of 4

This Father’s Day, forget the neckties — give Dad what he really wants: a chance to crush some drives and sip cold drinks at the brand-new Chasing Aces in Bossier City!

With 30 golf bays, a 9-hole par‑3 course, and a sports bar, it’s the perfect spot for Dads who love golf… and Dads who just love pretending they do. 😄
