Spread the Bread is a global grassroots organization whose mission is to use the gift of bread to nurture children's innate generosity with the goal of sparking a life-long commitment to helping others. Children are provided with opportunities to practice volunteerism by baking bread-any kind of bread- and offering it to their heroes, police, firefighters, soldiers, veterans and those in need, such as seniors, shelter residents and food pantry consumers. Bread recipients are given a homemade loaf of bread and the message that they have been remembered. For bakers and recipients, “bread-spreading” promotes respect for the importance and dignity of each member of society.

Members of this group are encouraged to share bread recipes, success stories, volunteer opportunities, helpful ideas,and come up with new ones. Through this networking, we can truly make a difference in the lives of others...and ours, too.
