Help Feed the Homeless
Breaking Bread Breaking Barriers



Breaking Bread Breaking Barriers (BBBB) is BPHI’s program to provide financial support for our Food Services Program. Interested parties can sponsor a meal for our residents and, if they wish, also volunteer to cook and serve the meal.  In  the last 3 years, BBBB has had more than 2,000 volunteers come help feed the homeless and has raised more than $300,000.  BBBB Calendar has 1620 volunteers and $289,933 raised.

  • Make Your Team Building Meaningful! Under the guidance of BPHI’s Food Service staff, your group works together to cook the meal in our kitchen, serve it in our dining room, and then you may relax and enjoy a meal with BPHI residents.
  • Learn How To Make A Difference! Breaking Bread Breaking Barriers is a true behind-the-scenes look at the services BPHI provides. Your group will learn who the homeless are in Broward County, and how you can help break the cycle of homelessness.
  • Give Back To Your Community! When members of our community break bread with our residents, we begin to break barriers in the fight against homelessness.
  • Have Fun! Experience the personal satisfaction of knowing you have made a difference – it will be an experience you will always remember.

For the homeless, the simple act of finding a meal can be insurmountable.  For many families and individuals, a communal meal serves as a source of healing and connecting with others. The BPHI Food Service Program meets these needs by providing three nutritionally well balanced meals a day for residents, evening snacks for children, bag lunches/dinners for residents who are employed and off-site at meal time and the provision of special dietary plans for the infirmed and elderly. 

Suggested donations to sponsor a meal:

Breakfast $250
Lunch $500
Dinner $600
Sunday Brunch $750
Special Holiday Meal $1000

Come help feed the homeless. For information on sponsorship and/or to book a volunteer date contact Berne Teeple, Director of Development at bteeple@bphi.org  or 954-832-7037.
