Mixer For Meals Wrap-Up Archive - St. John's Bread & Life

FEEDING BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT

since 1982

On behalf of everyone at St. John’s Bread & Life, I want to extend a heartfelt thank you for participating in our inaugural Mixer For Meals event. We are thrilled to share that, thanks to your generosity and support, we raised enough funds to provide 50,000 meals for the guests of St. John’s Bread & Life.

This is a tremendous achievement, and your commitment to fighting food insecurity makes all the difference. As food insecurity continues to impact so many individuals and families in New York City, your contributions help us provide not just meals, but hope, dignity, and care to our neighbors in need.

A special thank you to our sponsors, attendees, and donors for your unwavering support. We truly couldn’t have done this without you.

Together, we’re creating a stronger, healthier community. Thank you for standing with us in this vital mission.

With gratitude,

Sr. Caroline Tweedy, RSM
