Share Thy Bread

 

 

 

Share Thy Bread (STB) is a nonprofit organization which has served low income and disadvantaged families since May 2014. We believe in making a difference in people's lives and impacting them for eternity. Available to the community Monday through Friday and the first Sunday of the month, STB offers a well-balanced selection of food promoting wellness for every individual in our community. Our programs support an average of 4,667 household visits annually, distributing over 248,389 pounds of MANNA food annually to those in need in Polk, Hendersonville, Rutherfordton, Greenville, and Spartanburg counties. 

Our main partner is MANNA Food Bank in Asheville, North Carolina. We receive both regular MANNA product and TEFAP products. We also receive regular donations of food from Food Lion and Bojangles in Columbus, North Carolina.

Dirt to Dish is a program that makes it possible for farmers to donate Overage and/or Ugly Duckling fruits and vegetables to Share Thy Bread and receive a tax deductible receipt through this program. For more information on how you can donate to this program, call or text 828-817-1544. This program is for food grown by farmers who have more produce than they can sell at market or have “ugly ducklings” that they are unable to sell. You can donate to Share Thy Bread and help continue to bless people with nutritional options.

In order to provide a healthy environment for our volunteers, as well as you, our Neighbors, we are putting a regular variety of the foods we receive on tables and carts just outside our doors. This also makes it possible for us to have food available more hours each week. We do our best to have it available whenever the Adventist Thrift Store is open -- Monday through Thursday, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.; Friday, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.; and the first Sunday of the month, 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. For more information or if you have an emergency food request outside open hours, call or text 828-817-1544.
