Winter Coat Drive Update:

With winter quickly approaching in Romania the staff of Bread of Life is busily getting ready for the colder months ahead.  Proverbs uses the ants as an example of a hard working team that works diligently to set aside provisions. Each ant knows what it is supposed to do.  For us the priorities right now include getting as many winter coats distributed as we can.  We just want to pause to thank those who have contributed to this project and give you an update.  So far we have distributed 215 coats.  We have finished supplying the Feeding Center in the village of Buda and will soon take coats to Harsova which is a mostly Muslim community near the Danube River.  Bringing the love of Christ to them in such a tangible way is very near to our heart. Some of the children have never had a new winter coat of their own and the look on their face is priceless when they first put it on.  Other Feeding Centers have been calling me and asking if Bread of Life can supply their children with warm coats.  We will do what we can and keep praying that God will bless and multiply our efforts!

 

…….

Estera, from one of our feeding centers said: “Wow …this feels so warm!” We know we need to continue buying more coats for other poor children to feel the same way. We will get more coats as money is donated throughout the winter.  Look for more photos and updates to come!

 

Winter Coat Drive Project:

Winter in Romania is quite cold and just a few weeks away.  Each year Bread of Life provides coats for children at the orphanage and the children in poor villages where we hav e our Feeding Centers.  This year, because of the high cost of shipping used coats from overseas, we willbe buying new coats for the children her
e in Romania.  We will purchase coats and similar clothing items in bulk and negotiate a good price from local distributors. Our research shows the total cost to buy and distribute new coats to be around $25 each.

If you would like to donate please mark your checks “Winter Coat Drive”   Our new mailing address is below.  You can also use the online donation option and type “Coat Drive” in the special instructions box.

For many of us, the word “graduation” brings to mind robes, diplomas, and proud family photos. But for the teenagers who are part of the Bread of Life family, this moment is so much more. It marks a profound achievement, a courageous transition into adulthood, and a first real step toward independence. Their determination inspires us and fills us with joy and pride.

The Power of a Backpack: Restoring Dignity, Opening Doors

By Debora Brown • September 11, 2025
Each fall, children approach the first day of school with nervous anticipation or eager excitement. As a child, I loved school. I remember preparing with a list in hand, carefully choosing pencils and notebooks. We weren’t wealthy, but my parents always found a way. Sadly, many children in Romania don’t get to experience that joy. For them, choosing school supplies or packing a backpack is out of reach. Without basic tools, some can’t attend school at all—missing the education that could shape their future.
