Loaves are consistently given to the Catholic Social Service Karidat program, which is three separate homes where eight or nine adults with cognitive or physical disabilities live and are cared for by staff 24 hours a day.
âWe provide all of their meals, so for them to have fresh bread is really a treat and they have been beneficiaries of that bread every week,â said Catholic Social Service client program manager Lisa Bordallo.
Slices of bread are also included in food packages distributed through the food pantry while supplies last.
The Alee shelter for women and children who have suffered abuse, neglect or sexual assault are recipients of some loaves, as meals are provided for them.
