Success Stories

Mrs. K, November 2022: A senior citizen from Revere who receives a monthly grocery delivery from Bread of Life, Mrs. K called us after she had a meal delivered to her on Thanksgiving Day: “I just wanted to thank you so much for the most delicious Thanksgiving dinner ever. It must have been a tremendous amount of work for you. You did a fabulous job on it. It couldn't have been better. Everything was very delicious. I can't thank you enough. Hope you enjoyed Thanksgiving in spite of all your work, and thank you again.

Hugo, July 2022: A restaurant owner in the Boston area contacted us wanting his son to volunteer. He had first come to BOL as a volunteer through the Masons years before. He now wanted to pass on the volunteer spirit to the next generation. He and his son came in together and did some grocery deliveries. After volunteering, he was raving about BOL and the importance of our work and made a $500 donation to BOL.

Theresa, 12/25/2021: I can't thank you all enough for the generosity and kindness you have shared since I started coming to you for assistance. Before my husband Harry passed (Nov 2020), he was amazed at just the amount of groceries you helped us out with and the friendship of the sit-down dinners. Thank you again for making us feel respected, warm, comfortable and welcome! I still come for the take-out meals. God bless for a very merry Christmas and the happiest and healthiest new year and more. We appreciate each and every one of you!!! God bless.

adaliu1122, 01/23/2021: I’m so impressed [by] whoever has been served by or serving to are so nice in Bread of Life at Malden. I worked as a volunteer there, and was able to have an interview with Anson Kwong, who helped me to set up the preparations. I was able to see the workers collaborating and welcoming; and so many people appreciated the help that the Bread of Life provides. There was plenty of food for the basics. However, I hope more organizations can recognize the Bread of Life, and donate a variety of food products to support those in need, especially during the pandemic. People get together and support each other to make the community healthier.
