- Description: Every Sunday morning, the unconditional love of God is shown to the homeless and needy of our community through a hot breakfast hosted by our church. Early Bread is a cooperative effort with Wesley Memorial United Methodist, Grace United Methodist, and several other county churches which send volunteers every Sunday to cook, serve, minister, and clean. Early Bread started in May of 1999, and, since then, has fed more than 25,000 people. We "feed the soul and spirit" of an average of 120-150 people each Sunday. Approximately 90 percent of those served are men; many are veterans. Our van and those of our partner churches, pickup from Good Shepherd, Mercy House, the downtown library, and other locations.
