Why "Feed The Starter"?

A sourdough starter is living microcosm which despite its resilience requires attention and nourishment to keep it going and to reach its lively active stage where it will be the most effective at raising the dough for a lovely loaf of bread. 

Just like a starter BREAD Encounters requires nourishment. As a start-up non profit (although we have had unoffical bread encounters for many years) we currently have no access to funding other than from private donors like your.  This is why we really knead your help to raise some dough, so we will be able to continue to spread kindness and "share the loaf" as well as grow our bread therapy programs which are free to the community.

BREAD Encounters is an organization founded on the belief that bread has the power to change the world  for the better! 

BREAD as an acronym stands for Bread bakers Rise, Empower And Dough It!

​Our mission is "to inspire kindness and create human connection by baking and breaking bread together as well as engaging the community to provide nutritional relief to those with food insecurities. We drive positive social change through unique bread making activities which nurture unity, inclusion and creativity in communities."

 ​Purposeful "bread encounters" nourish our body and soul. They serve to

• ​bring communities together to bake and break bread and to "share the loaf" with those in need
• educate and revive the craft of making your own healthful bread
• promote hope, inclusivity and creativity 

Please help us raise some dough to keep spreading kindness through bread.  Because we knead it!
