Closing Its Doors on April 10th 2019

Bread of Life Community Soup Kitchen is closing its doors on April 10th 2019. The community soup kitchen has had the privilege of serving Cedar City and Iron county for over five years at its current location. The soup kitchen would like to give a warm thank you to all the citizens who have served and donated to the kitchen over the years. Your loyal support has allowed the kitchen to serve thousands of meals to the needy and combat hunger over the years. Thank you for all that you have done to support this ministry in our cherished community.
If you would like to continue to fight against hunger in the name of Jesus Christ or in need of assistance, we would recommend the food pantry at True Life Center located on Main st. in Cedar City.
Thank you again for serving, and letting us serve you.

Soup Kitchen gears up for spring migration of homeless

With the early onset of spring this year, Bread of life Community Soup Kitchen has seen the migration of homeless through Iron County earlier then normal. Traditionally the homeless spend the winter in southern Arizona then move up to Washington for the summer.  The I15 freeway is a direct route that is taken for this journey twice a year. With the Bread of Life Community Kitchen located just a few hundred feet from the freeway we get many visitors while they are undertaking this journey. We are in need of survival/camping gear for these people who are moving to more temperate climates. IF you have any of the following at home that you are not in need of anymore it would be greatly appreciated.

 

Tents

Backpacks

Sleeping bags

Personal hygiene products

Water filters

Canned food

Thank you and God bless!
