Bread of Life

Bread of life is a Christian ministry that brings warmth and comfort into the hearts and stomachs of those without homes in Pittsburgh, PA. Before I came to college, my family and friends served there once a month. We would prepare a hot meal, and then at a scheduled time, people who needed a hot meal could come inside and get them in to-go boxes or sit down and enjoy some fellowship and food.

The man who runs Bread of Life started it because he saw a need in his community and wanted to help fix the problem. Especially in big cities like Pittsburgh, it is very common for there to be a lot of people in need of a hot meal. Even though he may not consider himself an entrepreneur, I see his entrepreneurial skills through his actions. He was in an area that was in need, and he took action.

Bread of Life may not be run through a church, but during the dinner meetings we talk about Jesus Christ and how he has impacted our lives and their lives. This is a chance for us to spread the word of God and thanks to the owner’s willingness to let us help, we are impacting people’s lives.
