Our Volunteers Are The Best!

Our volunteers continually bless us with their servant hearts. Thanks for continually working, supporting, loving and praying for the Bread of Life Mission. We are able to feed the hungry and lift up the broken to the Lord along side the many helping hands of our dedicated volunteers. May God bless each one of them! Thanks be to you all.

It's 4th of July - LifeChange Outing Is A Nice Release




BOLM gave the program guys an Independence Day treat doing what guys love doing, playing ball!  This was at the Alki Community Park and was such a great afternoon for joy, and relaxation. Praise God for some old fashioned fun.

Take the TIME To Hear Their Stories



It is rare that we take the time to sit down and really HEAR someone's story - from beginning to end. That is one reason the staff at BOLM is always so inspired and motivated - we get to truly hear from our guests, and learn about our LifeChange program men through their personal testimonies. BOLM is instrumental in changing their journey entirely. We are the beginning of their next chapter, a better season that is bringing them back to God - and putting them on a path to reach their potential, without addiction and homelessness. It is exciting. Listen to Jack and Jeffrey's story today: http://www.breadoflifemission.org/

Our Dedicated Volunteers are AMAZING!


 
On any given day at the Bread of Life Mission, you'll see a handfull (or more) of dedicated volunteers giving us their time, energy and love. They are doing God's work, right here in Pioneer Square. They are truly champions for this organization and we are so grateful for their continued efforts each and every day. Praise God for you, and thanks for all that you do to serve.
