The Breaking Bread Food Pantry would like to thank all of the faithful volunteers who give of their time, serving the needs of the vulnerable in our community. At this time, there is a need for more volunteers - high school age and adults - to work on Tuesdays between the hours of 4pm and 6pm.

Helping Hand accepting winter donations Our transition from summer to winter clothing went great! Thank you for your generosity! As the cold winter sets in, we are still in need of the following items: - Coats of all sizes - Infant and Children’s clothing - Men’s clothing —all sizes especially coats - Blankets - Hats, gloves, and scarves - New socks and underwear - Tennis Shoes and Boots - Child clothes hangers (20 or 30) - Toys (in working order), games, Christmas decorations, and miscellaneous items that can be given as a Christmas gift. Just a gentle reminder of a few guidelines when making a donation: all items need to washed and in working order. Items should be relatively stain-free, with no tears. Please do not put loose clothing in the bin.
