Bread Run

Mill Woods United Church became involved with the Bread Run in October 2005 when the organizers found themselves short on volunteers. Since then more than 20 congregation members have worked on a rotating basis picking up bread and vegetables from local grocery stores and delivering it to the church where it is sorted and made available to members of the community.

​

On Saturday mornings from 8:30 – 9:30 am, the sanctuary is turned into a market. This allows community members who struggle with food security to supplement their groceries.

Leftovers are shared with a shelter in Mill Woods for abused women.

This project is not just about the food though – it’s about  giving – giving of one’s self to someone less fortunate.

These volunteers are always prepared to go the extra mile with an abundance of smiles and hugs to go around. If you would like to volunteer to help with this project please contact the church office.
