Community Impact

Every week, BRCOH rescues food from local restaurants, bakeries and hospitals. Rather than food being wasted, we recover edible but not “sellable” food product or goods for our distributions. This product is then weighed, sorted and divided into family sized portions and distributed weekly.

Thank you to our community partners in food rescue!

BRCOH assists hundreds of individuals and families through our food and clothing distributions. When people come to BRCOH, they will receive a warm welcome, prayer and conversation, a connection to community resources, pre-loved clothing and household items, and a shopping cart full of groceries from our food pantry. Food insecurity may reflect a household’s need to make trade-offs between important basic needs, such as housing or medical bills, and purchasing nutritionally adequate foods. Your contributions help us fight hunger in our own community.

Each year, a Christmas Toy Drive is held. Our registered families have the chance to visit a Christmas room and choose a gift for each child in their home, in addition to the food and clothing assistance offered regularly.
