Bread for myself is a material question. Bread for my neighbor is a spiritual one. --Nicholas Berdyaev
Everyone is welcome to a free nutritious meal the last Saturday of the month (January - October) at the Assumption Church School Gym on Kentucky St. near Cornwall Avenue close to a bus stop. Doors open for coffee, hot chocolate and juice about 9:00 am, and we serve the Meal from 12:30 pm until
3:30 p.m. All BCMP guests receive reservations for their meal time, so groups of family and friends can eat together. We offer take out meals after 2:30 pm. Each BCMP meal includes a hot entree or main course salad, a starch (mashed potato or rice), cooked vegetable, fresh salad, bread and butter, pudding, dessert, coffee/tea, milk and juice. Who enjoys our delicious free meals? Our guests represent the best of our community and our spirit. Some guests have come for years, enjoying the food, their friends, and our warm, respectful volunteers. We serve seniors, people on fixed incomes, and the homeless. Over the last few years, as our local economy has suffered, we have rejoiced that individuals and families who are experiencing "tough times" have found BCMP. Completely staffed and operated by loyal volunteers, BCMP is funded by donations, including cash awards from local community organizations and businesses, bulk food and supplies from local distributors, cash donations and an ongoing supply of the best cookies and treats ever, loving made by our dedicated cookie bakers! At each October meal, we are proud to be a distributor of the InterFaith Coalition's annual Coat Drive!
