From Feeding Centers to Family

 

For many years Bread of Life operated a Feeding Center ministry, feeding many hungry children and helping families remain together. As we all know, COVID has changed life for everyone, and BOL’s ministry projects are no exception. Large feeding centers with lots of children enjoying a meal and having a Bible story are no longer possible. But that doesn’t change the fact that there are still many hungry children that need our help.

When COVID arrived in March, we were forced to close down feeding center locations. We knew we had to find a way to meet the current needs and still keep everyone safe, so we shifted to “family packs,” a monthly food box with enough food to sustain the needy families for a month. But the children weren’t the only ones who desperately needed our help.

We found that there were many widows in these areas that were also in great need. Now this “family pack” program also delivers much-needed food supplies to about 75 widows and elderly each month. As God provides the resources, we plan to continue providing these “family packs” through the winter and spring.

Shifting our feeding center program to a family pack program did not come without challenges, including increases in food costs, the need for extra staff for deliveries, and logistic issues, to name a few. Would you consider helping us continue delivering “family packs” to the poor families and the elderly to help them make it through the coming winter? A gift of $30 will provide a “family pack” food box with enough food for a month to a needy family or elderly person.

Help us to continue showing God’s love to those less fortunate by giving to this project.

Sharing the Gift of Love This Christmas

By Debora Brown Volunteer Sponsorship Director • October 21, 2025
As the holiday season draws near, our hearts are filled with gratitude for God’s greatest gift—His Son, Jesus Christ. Christmas reminds us that love came down to dwell among us, and now we have the joy of sharing that same love with others. This year, we invite you to join our Christmas Shoebox Ministry —a simple yet powerful way to bless children in Ukraine, Bulgaria, and Romania. For many, these gifts will be the only ones they receive, but through them they’ll experience the warmth of God’s love and the hope of the gospel.
