Be an Ingredient for Change in 2026
“Hot Bread Kitchen gave me financial stability for the first time in my life. Without Hot Bread Kitchen, I wouldn’t have my job.”
—Soumare, Hot Bread Kitchen Breadwinner
Support Breadwinners like Soumare Find Financial Stability and a Future
With your support, Soumare found the essential ingredients she needed to transform her life. But she is just one of 660 Breadwinners Hot Bread Kitchen was able to support this year—and only one of the nearly 6,000 people who applied. For every Soumare we serve, many more are still waiting for their chance. Would you consider making a donation so that more Breadwinners can turn opportunity in stability, and stability into dreams?
