It’s Hunger & Homelessness Awareness week, and we’re sharing stories from some of the amazing hunger-fighting nonprofit partners in our network. Nonprofit partners provide invaluable service by nourishing communities across the nation. Check out what’s happening at Home Sweet Home Ministries in Bloomington, Illinois!
Home Sweet Home’s Bread for Life Co-op allows participants to use their own capability and choice to provide food for themselves and their families. Their transition from a food pantry model to a co-op model has empowered and given agency to community members.
