House of Bread Canned Food Drive
Every year, SBT donates food and clothes to The House of Bread. The House of Bread was founded in 1983 by Sister Dorothy Kammerer and Joe Bettman (father of SBT owner Todd Bettman), believing that no one deserves to go hungry.
SBT owner and founder Todd Bettman delivers donated canned goods to the House of Bread.
House of Bread believes that everyone deserves to be treated with dignity and respect. Everyone deserves to have a meal in a place where they feel welcome and appreciated. No one is ever turned away from the House of Bread, and everyone is treated as a special guest.
They prevent hunger by offering a hot, nutritious, lunchtime meal 7 days a week. Staff and volunteers work together, primarily using donated food, to prepare the meal each day. Serving lunch in two dining rooms, with one being specifically for families with children.
House of Bread does not believe in duplicating programs or resources offered by other social service agencies in the area. So while their guests enjoy lunch, they offer them referrals and assistance in accessing needed resources. They help their guests with everything from a simple phone call, referral to emergency shelter, to help with finding a preschool for their children.
