August 22, 2024 - What a great time everyone had at the 12th annual ZOMBIE RUN! It just gets better and better. The Zombies had some extra interesting twists they added this year. Tropical Sno showed up and was a big hit after the race, donating a dollar from each sale. Thank you to the volunteers from the Bread of Life Food Pantry committee, the cross-country team parents and teachers, and many others who pitched in to help out. Also a huge thank you to our dedicated sponsors for their continuing support.
May 18, 2024 - The Buffalo Senior Center and Lynn's Superfoods sponsored our "Stuff the Bus" food drive on Saturday, May 18th. Generous donors gave 798 pounds of food and monetary donations. The Buffalo Senior Center staff and volunteers from the Bread of Life Food Pantry helped load, unload, weigh, and stock the items. The wonderful employees of Lynn's Superfoods were a huge help with setting up prepackaged bags, supplying drinks, and carrying out donations. Thank you to everyone who made this possible!
April 25, 2024 - Well, the count is final! Mrs. Scarlett's class unseated Mr. Farris' class by 80 pounds in the Cloud Peak Elementary - JCSD #1 annual food drive. Mr. Farris' class had won every year until now. The school brought in a total of 4,589 pounds of food, shattering last year's total of 3,027 pounds! We believe this is the largest amount of food we have ever had brought in from one drive. The students even stayed and helped us sort and stock. Thank you to everyone at Cloud Peak Elementary for supporting our pantry and the community.

Bread of Life Food Pantry committee members Pitchy Gammon, Marilyn Novotny, Lynne Turner, and volunteer Larry Hanson were also a huge help with checking in food and stocking. The combined effort is greatly appreciated.
