Bread Across Borders is an all-volunteers organization that started in 2020 during the lockdown with the delivery model of distributing food to different families. We take the boxes directly to families and they take the food and distribute the items within their own communities.
We collect surplus food from stores & farms and redistribute to the working-class communities of Charlottesville – to a variety of low-income members of the Charlottesville community, to immigrant communities (Middle Eastern, African, Latin American), and also, to elders and folks with disabilities. We plan to have a member of a community deliver food to a different community in town, hence, breaking down barriers and borders in our local community.
