Merry Christmas, everyone! We had a huge week with just being open two days this week. On Wednesday before Christmas, we had 62 families come to the Bread House - a new one-day record! Another record for the Bread house was having 18 NEW families show up! This year alone, we have had over 2,000 different and new visitors come to our campus because of the Bread House!

Meet Charlie Hough (above picture) from Trinity United Methodist Church. They run a soup kitchen at Trinity. When they heard about the Bread House this week, they started delivering extra Bread products that they had! Thank you, Trinity UMC!

After a busy day at the Bread House, the volunteers met for a Christmas lunch! Everyone had a great time! (picture below)
