Bridge Bread

Bridge Bread HOPE IN THE BAKING! A social enterprise bakery that provides restorative employment for people without safe and stable housing

Bridge Bread is a unique and successful social enterprise built on 3 key factors:

1) 75¢ out of every dollar generated from the sales of Bridge Bread goes to workers' compensation.

2) Because bread is a consumable, customers keep coming back week after week to buy more bread.

3) Bread Baking is a valuable trade skill that provides a sustainable source of income for homeless and out-of-work

individuals. The poor and homeless will always be with us. However, collectively we have the power to make a difference and lessen the severity of homelessness. Helping a homeless and out-of-work person find a way to return to leading a productive life and gain a sense of dignity in the process is right and just. We are our brother’s keeper and lending a hand to the least and the lost is the responsibility of us all. Together we can make a difference one life at a time. We invite you to contact Fred Domke at [email protected] to learn more about Bridge Bread and how your church or on-profit organization can begin to make a difference in the lives of those seeking an opportunity to learn a meaningful job skill and a pathway to a better life. Bridge Bread Bakery is a Missouri nonprofit corporation with federal 501(c)(3) status.

We are experimenting with our Artisan Sourdough loaves at Bridge Bread - The Loop (616 N. Skinker Blvd 63130). We made Garlic Sourdough and Onion Sourdough with the savory inclusions in the dough. What do you think? Should this be a product for us? The volunteers at The Loop tried them and liked them - a lot!
