Shared Bread

Shared Bread is an extension of our church that helps families, The disabled, and senior citizens that live within the Kent School District boundaries.

Our primary focus is offering financial help to stop evictions and to stop utilities (heat and lights) from being shut off. People are eligible for assistance once every 12 months. We usually help close to 600 individuals per year. We have volunteers on Mondays who schedule the interviews for the clients at church for the following Wednesdays. During the interviews, we can assist our clients with additional help for many of their various needs.

Shared Bread Corner

In August, we have been busy helping our neighbors in great need. During an interview, a client said, “It is so refreshing just to have a person call me back for an appointment. I am so appreciative .”

This client has had some major family issues and had to step up and care for his 13-year-old nephew. His sister was in a severe car accident and is still fighting for her life. He had to stand up and care for him. It has drained his savings. We helped keep this family in their apartment.

We put our faith into action each week by providing a program that calls its neighbors back and tries to help because of this congregation's generosity.
