A huge THANK YOU to everyone who supported us on #GivingTuesday yesterday 🧡 Your generosity helped us start our Sponsor A Family Holiday Program strong with more than $25,000 raised.

Today is #GivingTuesday, and we need your help to kick off our annual Sponsor A Family Holiday Program!

Happy Thanksgiving from all of us at Bread & Life! Yesterday we celebrated with a grab-and-go traditional Thanksgiving meal, and pantry bags filled with gravy, stuffing mix, mashed potatoes and more for guests to make at home.

We are just 1 week away from #GivingTuesday, the global day of generosity taking place on November 30!

A big thank you to @repjeffries and the @tccnewyork for their visit to Bread & Life yesterday. Congressman Jeffries served grab and go meals provided by the Turkish Cultural Center, and distributed PPE including hand sanitizer and masks.

We are proud to share that St. John's Bread & Life has received our third consecutive 4-star rating by Charity Navigator. This rating verifies that Bread & Life executes its missions with the highest standards of transparency and accountability.

“Food banks and pantries, too, are struggling with the increase in costs, substituting or pulling the most expensive products, life beef, from offerings. What’s more, donations of food are down, even as the number of people seeking help remains elevated.” - @nytimes

A huge thank you to @goauntflow for their recent donation of period care products! Bread & Life's mission includes respecting the dignity of all people who come to us in need, and this includes providing the essential personal care items they need to stay healthy in addition to food and services.
