September 2023’s Do It for a Cause Spotlight shines on The Bread Shed in Poplar Bluff, Missouri, a local nonprofit that’s been spreading hope and feeding hungry hearts since 2010.
The Bread Shed’s mission is simple yet powerful:
“To feed the hungry — both spiritually and physically — as an extension of the love of Jesus Christ.”
Run entirely by volunteers from local churches and community members, this organization is living proof of what faith, compassion, and unity can accomplish.
Serving Southeast Missouri with Heart
Located at 203 N D Street, Poplar Bluff, MO, The Bread Shed operates several ongoing programs designed to uplift and meet the needs of our community:
“Breaking Bread”: Free hot meals served every Sunday from 11:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.
Food & Clothing Distributions: Monthly events offering breakfast, worship, and testimonies.
ABC (A Better Childhood) Food Program: Monthly distribution for families with children in Poplar Bluff Schools.
