Overview

Mission

The Community Bread Basket is a cooperative outreach ministry of the churches, other supportive organizations, businesses and individuals in the Weirton, WV area to assure basic needs of life for people/families.

What it reported doing in 2024

The Community Bread Basket provides a food pantry to individuals and families of the community every Friday. Volunteers and members of local congregations operate the food pantry under the direction of the program administrator. We have dedicated volunteers who faithfully fill and distribute food orders. The food pantry is stocked through the support of churches, businesses, community donations and grants. Bulk supplies are purchased and donated from the USDA Mountaineer Food Bank. We assisted 7,765 individuals in need along with several additional low-income housing facilites and other local food assistance organizations during the year.
