On any given night in the City of Houston approximately 10,000 women, children, and men find themselves without food or shelter. Approximately 870,000 families in the city go hungry as a result of economic down times, underemployment, and unemployment. Bread of Life, Inc., is a Houston-based non-profit 501(c)(3) organization, providing solutions to address homelessness through sustaining, equipping, and transforming the forgotten – with compassion.
Pastors Rudy and Juanita Rasmus formed Bread of Life, Inc. in response to the hunger they witnessed among the poor and homeless in Houston. What began as the distribution of meals from the trunk of a car has continued to grow exponentially to transform the lives of thousands of homeless men and women in Houston. Twenty-two years later, Bread of Life, Inc is the premier homelessness service provider in the city of Houston, serving breakfast to homeless men and women each Saturday morning in the Houston community. Through its Community-Wide Food Fair and Senior Supplemental Food program Bread of Life distributes over 18 tons of fresh food each week in two locations.
