From July 2020 through June 2021 we distributed over 4,276,182 pounds of food totaling about 3 million meals for New Yorkers in need -- we think that's something to celebrate!

Please join us for our first annual Fill the Truck Virtual Food Drive! As the pandemic continues we continue to stay open and work hard to serve hungry New Yorkers in Brooklyn and Queens. We provide groceries and meals onsite at Bread & Life, and our truck, made possible by the Mother Cabrini Health Foundation, delivers food to partner organizations and pop-up pantries across the city, serving thousands of families each month.

Thank you to the volunteers from @theportauthority_ny_nj who spent a day volunteering at Bread & Life as a part of the Port Authority's Remembrance Through Renewal Month of Service honoring the 84 Port Authority employees who were lost on Sept. 11, 2001, in the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center.

The Bread & Life kitchen team arrives bright and early every morning to prepare nutritious breakfasts and lunches for our guests. Over the past year we’ve served an average of 12,600 Grab-and-Go meals every month!

Since January 2021 we’ve distributed over 59,000 32-pound pantry bags filled with shelf-stable staples and fresh food like fruits, veggies, milk, eggs and meat. Our staff packs hundreds of bags every day - take a peak at how it’s done!

In addition to our pantry service, Bread & Life serves daily hot breakfast and lunch on-site, and throughout Brooklyn and Queens via our Mobile Soup Kitchen. Last month alone we served over 14,000 grab-and-go meals to New Yorkers in need!

A huge thank you to the @stjohnsu students volunteering with us today as a part of the Rendu Service Experience. We are grateful for your help serving our community!

This week we added fresh eggs to the list of healthy protein options in the produce bags we provide to our guests!

Thank you to our friends from @brooklyn_repair for their help today! Volunteers packed pantry and produce bags for our guests onsite as well as for our neighbors we serve via our Mobile Soup Kitchen.
