Story

Bridge Bread is a unique and successful social enterprise built on 3 key factors:

1) 75¢ out of every dollar generated from the sales of Bridge Bread goes to workers' compensation.

2) Because bread is a consumable, customers keep coming back week after week to buy more bread.

3) Bread Baking is a valuable trade skill that provides a sustainable source of income for homeless and out-of-work individuals.

The poor and homeless will always be with us. However, collectively we have the power to make a difference and lessen the severity of homelessness. Helping a homeless and out-of-work person find a way to return to leading a productive life and gain a sense of dignity in the process is right and just. We are our brother’s keeper and lending a hand to the least and the lost is the responsibility of us all. Together we can make a difference one life at a time.
