wnaplay1647545503 Posted January 16, 2010 Report Share Posted January 16, 2010 I have seen several of our local churches giving away bread and bagels. To the point they are holding signs days in advance of their giveaways outside their buildings. Is this an attempt to possibly get people in need of these items to also potentially join their congregation or is this some religeous thing?

LJ Posted January 16, 2010 Report Share Posted January 16, 2010 I don't really pay enough attention in church, but the one I go to has always given a free loaf to first time visitors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wnaplay1647545503 Posted January 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2010 Okay so why are they giving it away? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LJ Posted January 16, 2010 Report Share Posted January 16, 2010 Atta girl, Rex. :thumbup: KillJoy Yeah it has to do with the Eucharist and communion and all the quotes about "breaking bread" but it doesn't have the same meaning as communion behind it.

That place has given out bread for awhile now. I am just wondering why I am seeing churches in more financially stable areas doing it.

Akula Posted January 16, 2010 Report Share Posted January 16, 2010 Typically, Churches try to feed the hungry. One way they do that is by going to larger grocery stores and bakeries and arranging to get day old or almost past, bread. Then they give it to those that are hungry.

Benner Posted January 16, 2010 Report Share Posted January 16, 2010 Alot of churches have food pantries that they give food boxes to the needy (and people who take advantage). However because stores like Kroger, Meijer, and a few others give free bread that's about to expire alot of churches give out bread on seperate occasions to get rid of it quicker.

Guest Hal Posted January 16, 2010 Report Share Posted January 16, 2010 Panera also donates Yes, the goal was $475 worth of product per night per store. Add in the people who ordered way too much and you had $600+ nights fairly often. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Hal Posted January 16, 2010 Report Share Posted January 16, 2010 ??? What are you talking about??? I promise you My store NEVER donated that much product. They raised the donation level about a year ago. With the raised level and modified left over levels, panups got fucked up easily. Typically a GM or more experienced AM was hitting right around the donation level. Throw in the newer AM's and I saw a lot of wasted product. Really looks great on the P&L when your bakery op is super high too. That's what I'm talking about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
