Bread Of Life Program
Volunteer with us as we deliver food each Tuesday to eight Gatlinburg properties. We begin at 3 p.m. at First United Methodist Church where food is packed and loaded. Then we deliver to eight Gatlinburg Hotels to folks who are asked to sign a form of receipt along with the bag of food. This ministry has served Gatlinburg for over 4 years. Growing opportunities for volunteerism abound as the need grows for the deliveries.
