Locations/Programs: B.R.E.A.D. (Bridges Reaching Ederly and Disabled)
Bridges Reaching the Elderly and Disabled (BREAD) is a program that reaches out to seniors with financial hardships and physical disabilities. Once a month, volunteers deliver BREAD boxes and spend time with a home-bound senior citizen.
BREAD boxes contain items such as peanut butter, juice, pasta, beans, and cereal. Canned items may include tuna, vegetables and fruit and when available, fresh bread, produce and pastries are added.
