Founded in 1980, incorporated in 1992, the Bread of Life’s mission is “to feed the body and nurture the soul.” They provide free evening meals, a food pantry, and nutritional outreach for seniors and homeless persons, with 500 volunteers from 35 partner churches, synagogues, high schools, businesses, and civic groups, north of Boston. Beyond food, they also distribute clothing, social service referrals, “a listening ear, and compassion.” The warmth of their community is evident at mealtimes, as family members, co-workers, and strangers of all ages freely and easily share their fellowship. BOL has won numerous awards, including the Anthony Spinnazzola Foundation Award in 2006 and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts Governor’s Council “Outstanding Humanitarian Award.” They do have a problem of space: their three storefronts on Main Street in Malden—for the office, food pantry storage, and distribution—are slated for demolition, and they are already overcrowded. Perhaps this is where you might help with a significant gift?
