NEWS FLASH! We have moved! God opened the way for us to move to a newer, larger facility in South Gastonia on 3803 Old York Road. We are still working on all the county and building change of use requirements (which can be a long process) as well as make all the changes required, but we are well on the way

Creative WOW! Christmas gift from Colony Ridge HOA! Carolyn Dewalt organized a baking bag project. She collected 41 bags and brought them to BREAD to give away. She and her husband had lots of fun presenting her neighborhood's generous gifts to the families who came on Tuesday. See all the goodies they packed in the bags!
NOVEMBER
Many thanks to all the families who brought food to help other families have a wonderful Thanksgiving. Gaston county just may be the most generous county of all.
Wow! Piedmont Community Charter School Middle School broke this years donation record by gathering 4000 food items for BREAD just in time for the holidays! Never doubt what young people can do! Boxes and bags kept coming and coming. Felt like Christmas!
The clerk of court's office brought canned meats, and all sorts of Thanksgiving items to make our boxes special for those who come next week. Living in a community that cares and shares the love God put inside us, can make all the difference for ones who are going through hard times during the Holidays.
Big thanks to CMC Rebar of Gastonia! Their 65 employees collected 200lbs of food for us to share with those in need over the Holidays! See part of it in the picture! We enjoyed meeting 4 of their great bunch: Lisa, Lori, Crystal and Aaron! What a big blessing!
October
Thank you Kings Mountain Energy Center for your creative donation of servicing our forklift. It needed some hefty repairs and servicing. We were so blessed to receive this thoughtful gift! Thanks to Dustin with G&W Equipment for doing such a great job!
September
Advance Drainage Systems brought by food donations and a check to help us with our expenses as we work hard to open our doors. How thoughtful and what a big blessing! Companies that bless their communities DO make a big difference!
