Tri City Free Breakfast Program

We serve a hot, nutritious breakfast three mornings a
week to hungry individuals in the Tri-cities area,
including ethnically diverse at-risk children, families
at or near poverty level, homeless, working poor, and
senior citizens on fixed incomes. In its twelfth year
of operation, this 100% volunteer-run, non-profit
program meets a vital, basic human need for nutritious
food and a sense of community in a warm, safe environment.

Description:
We set-up, prepare, serve and clean-up for approximately 155 guests on Monday, Wednesday and
Friday mornings. We serve the guests much like a
restaurant where they have a feeling of comfort
with special attention paid to them. We are open from
5:00 - 9:15 a.m. for volunteers, and serve breakfast
from 7:00 - 9:00 a.m for the guests. The volunteers
can come to our site at any time during the hours of
operation, and there is always work to be done.

History:
Our agency was formed in May, 1997 with only 12 guests
in attendance. We have enjoyed many new volunteers
although some of the first volunteers are still with the program. We are officially twelve years old!
We get funding from the City of Fremont, the Emergency Food and Shelter Program, the Haas Foundation and
individual donors. In addition, we have a pick-up
crew who gathers donations each weekend from stores
such as Safeway and Food Max.
