    Information:

    B.R.E.A.D., Inc. stands for Blessings Received Each Appointed Day. We are continually blessed by a caring community that volunteers their time and resources to provide extra help, food, love and encouragement to those in need. We have an all-volunteer staff and board that loves to be a part of making a difference. 

    We have thousands of clients that come as needed throughout the year. Some come a few times a year, some once a month, and some come most every week. Clients are eligible to come weekly. We have many clients who walk and are homeless who only take what they can carry or put in their backpack, so a weekly opportunity to get some food is very helpful to them. Many seniors on fixed income also love to come weekly to get fresh vegetables, salad, bread, snacks and drinks. Once a month, clients also receive an additional food box.

    *New clients must bring proof of income and expenses, as well as ID for you and those in your household.
