The Bed and Bread program brings food, shelter and services to countless destitute people within our community, providing them with their basic needs and assisting them to get back on their feet. More than 4,900 meals are served each day to the hungry by the program, which includes Bed & Bread trucks that make stops in metro Detroit’s most depressed areas every day of the year. In addition, the Bed & Bread program shelters 565 men, women and children each day.
The Army holds no illusions. Shelter and feeding programs will not solve the crisis faced by those without food to eat or a place to sleep. Clearly, long-term solutions such as job training and counseling are necessary to break the cycle of poverty.
But by sharing daily bread, The Salvation Army meets today's needs and gives hope for a better tomorrow.
