WHO WE ARE

At the Bread of Life, we're more than just a kitchen—we're a lifeline for those in need. Since 1996, we've been serving up healthy, well-balanced meals, fresh produce and essential pantry staples to everyone who walks through our doors, no questions asked. As a nonprofit 501(C)3 organization, we're dedicated to serving all ages, backgrounds, and beliefs, fostering a community where everyone feels welcome and valued. Open Monday through Friday, the Bread of Life operates with dedicated volunteers from churches, schools, farms, scouting troops, civic groups, and compassionate individuals like you.

To provide food and access to resources to all those in need in Transylvania County; no questions asked.

What We Do

At the Bread of Life, we believe in the transformative power of food and community. That's why we work tirelessly with our partners—including local farms, grocery stores, bakeries, and restaurants—to serve fresh, hot, nutritious meals every weekday. Our pantry is stocked with fresh produce, canned goods, and other non-perishable items, supporting our mission to alleviate hunger in Transylvania County. Our food truck extends our reach, bringing meals to those in need in remote areas, while also collecting donations from stores, churches, summer camps, and food drives.

But our commitment doesn't stop at food. We understand that those we serve often require additional support. That's why we regularly connect them with other local organizations to access vital resources such as food stamps, legal assistance, emotional support, conflict resolution, and medical care.

At the Bread of Life, we're not just feeding bodies; we're nourishing souls and building a stronger, more resilient community together. Join us in our mission to make a difference, one meal, one connection at a time.
