Bread for All

Austin City Lutherans

Bread For All is the highlighted May and June Ministry

The Bread For All Food Pantry (BFA) is operated by Austin City Lutherans out of Faith Presbyterian Church (1314 E Oltorff). Since September 2013, Bread For All volunteers have served our neighbors in southeast Austin on a weekly basis. Their food pantry provides the supplemental nutrition needed for a healthier diet. They serve upwards of 600 unique households every month, the equivalent of 2,500 people. Typically, neighbors will receive 40-65 pounds of food, roughly the equivalent of $75 to $125. This affords them the ability to have better nutrition while more easily paying for other necessities like rent, utility bills and other monthly expenses.
This type of distribution – saving recipients an average of $100 – is incredibly impactful for low-income individuals and families!
