Bread of Life Food Pantry

Bread of Life

Bread of Life is more than a food pantry. We desire to partner with individuals and families by providing short-term food assistance combined with long-term spiritual and emotional support to help them become healthy and whole.

We want to give those in need the tools and assistance they need to better their lives in the present while also finding true, everlasting life in Jesus.

How does it work?

Bread of Life is a 6 month program that individuals or families can apply to be enrolled in. The reason the program is 6 months is because our goal is to help people better their lives for the long haul, not to create dependency.

Food insecurity is a major obstacle to success in school and at work, so the program is designed to alleviate these stressors to help families get on their feet. Families that are enrolled in the program receive groceries once per week that can be picked up on Saturday mornings between 10am-12pm at Carron Baptist Church.

We also offer financial counselling, spiritual counselling, and emotional support to our families that extends beyond the 6 months of food assistance.
