My Nonprofit Reviews

The Bread of Life was relocated in August of 2109 to Westminster Hall at First Presbyterian Church of Palatka, when the original building was closed for repairs and renovation. Since that time, regular feedings are occurring Monday through Friday, 11:30-12:30. For most days, sponsors select a day to provide a cooked meal to serve approximately 40-50 homeless or food insecure individuals and families. An entirely volunteer organization, the newly elected Board is seeking funding to provide for one (or two) positions to expand the organization as well as renovations to the original building. There is a tremendous outpouring and revitalization of the downtown churches and area businesses to insure BOL stays on mission. The old building is intended to be a permanent location for storage, meal prep, cold weather shelter and educational/self-care facility for the population we serve. Volunteers experience great joy and satisfaction in the new approach taken on by BOL. My experience since August has renewed my commitment to outreach for our most vulnerable citizens. In 2020, we will continue to provide connection with services, local churches and businesses to provide a more meaningful approach to lifting up those who come to be fed. Come experience the new and improved Bread of Life! You will certainly be blessed!
