We help feed over 140 families each month in the Etna, and Shaler communities. We serve families that have limited incomes. Our families consist of senior citizens, the unemployed, the underemployed, and the disabled. Some families have young children. Many of our shoppers are veterans. The pantry also has seen an influx of immigrants from Latin America and the Middle East who present new challenges to our mission and goals.
We are a somewhat unique pantry because a shopper can walk through the pantry aisles and choose what is best for their family from the items in stock. We do not simply offer a pre-packaged box of food.
Bread of Life relies on members of the community, local businesses and neighboring churches for foodstuff donations and financial assistance. Our finances are limited, as many other people's are, and we need the assistance of the One Day campaign to help us meet our goals of improving the health and wellness of the people we serve.
