The Bread Basket
We often help out at this awesome outreach ministry in Sanford NC. Many go individually from our church and some go in groups. Below is some background information on The Bread Basket
In 1990, a soup kitchen known as “The Bread Basket,” was established at ST. Thomas Episcopal Church, with the purpose of supplying a hot meal, Monday – Friday, to the hungry of Lee County. It received its start-up support from the Diocese’s Parish Grant Program, as well as gifts from St. Thomas’. The Bread Basket, established at St. Thomas’, became an ecumenical endeavor, relocating to a donated site and underwritten building. St. Thomas’ has a long history of identifying community needs and answering them with specially designed programs, underwritten by church funds. As the programs have developed, they have moved to larger, community-located and community-supported sites to continue serving increased populations.
