What began with two men cooking eighty hot

dogs in the back of a pickup truck in 2018, grew

to over 20 volunteers distributing and delivering

over one million meals to people in Ripley Park,

Tent City and the unsheltered population. Bread

of Life is creatively utilizing ongoing efforts to

bring economic and social transformation to

the Ripley Park area by helping provide meals,

newer furniture, and clothes, while establishing

relationships with the residents. We have also

been providing them with nutritional needs and

practical support on a weekly basis.

 

Donors provided funds each year providing

funds to help with back-to-school supplies, clothes, and Christmas presents for the children living in the Timberlee Apartments.

 

Every third Saturday, Bread of Life hosts a mobile food drop with Harvesters, at the Community Center at Ripley Park (235 SE Lime Street). From several pallets of food, we provide families with fresh vegetables, fresh fruits, and a variety of other foods.

​

VISION STATEMENT:

“Is it not to share your food with the hungry and to provide the poor wanderer with shelter – when you see the naked, to clothe them, and not to turn away from your own flesh and blood?” –Isaiah 58:7 

 

God’s Vision is much bigger than ours. We bring the Word of God and the message of Jesus' Kingdom to the children and families in Timberlee Apartments, the neighborhood of the Ripley Park area, and the unsheltered population in Topeka.
