Bread

Today, we want to talk about something close to our hearts – bread! Bread is one of those unsung heroes in the food world. No matter where we go, there is always bread on the table, and it is a staple food in many cultures around the world.

Recently, we were chatting with our team about the importance of bread, and we thought we’d share a couple of fun facts with you that you might not know.

Fact number one – did you know that the bread we serve at our center for internally displaced people in Rivne, Ukraine is actually baked by amazing volunteers? That’s right! A team of people who were evacuated from Donbas have come together, led by the wonderful Hanna, to bake delicious loaves of bread for those in need. It’s heartwarming to see how much people care and are willing to give back to their community!

Fact number two – bread is a big deal in Turkish culture! In our city where our base and local kitchen are located, we’ve seen many small businesses struggle to stay afloat after being damaged in various ways. But one bakery that we have partnered with has found a way to thrive! They may not have a factory, but they have an incredible team of bakers who handcraft the most delicious loaves of bread we’ve ever tasted. And the best part? By ordering from them, we’re not only getting the freshest bread around, but we’re also supporting a small local business. Every day we distribute 800 loaves of bread to families who are receiving food at our base.

So, there you have it – two fun facts about bread that you might not have known before.

At our organization, we’re always striving to provide the best quality food to those in need, while also supporting the community around us. We’re grateful for every hand that has helped us along the way.
