We have two sizes depending on your needs: small kits for a minimum of 2 individuals and large kits for a minimum of 4 individuals.

The Ingredients that Make Up the Bread of Life
-
Food
The Bread of Life works with our many partners including local farms, grocery stores, bakeries, and restaurants to provide fresh, hot, nutritious meals to those who need one.
In addition, we give out fresh produce, canned goods, and other nonperishable items.

Food Truck
Our food truck provides meals to folks in need in other parts of the County and allows us to pick up canned goods from stores, churches, summer camps, and food drives. The people we serve are often in need of other forms of assistance. We regularly refer them to other local organizations, to help them obtain food stamps, legal assistance, emotional and conflict-resolution issues, and medical assistance.
