2. Why is bread one of the most
wasted foods? How can we keep
this bread out of landfills?

3. How can a loaf of bread
become a tool to get homeless
people necessary job skills and
work experience?

4. How can a loaf of bread make
busy professionals’ lives a bit
simpler and easier?

5. The answer? Hope Loaf
• Hope Loaf is a fourth sector business that
employs homeless citizens transitioning
off the street.

6. How? “Hope Loaf”
We hire homeless people
transitioning out of
homeless shelters and
into their own homes,
providing them with
valuable work skills and
work experience to help
them get into the work
force. These employees
are taught to cook, and
transform a loaf of bread
into a hearty take out
meal. This loaf of bread,
previously headed for the
landfill, now has value.

7. Here’s How it Works:

8. Grocery stores and restaurants
donate loaves of bread that would
otherwise be thrown out

9. And give an opportunity for
homeless adults to get valuable
work experience
• Our employees
use the leftover
bread to create
tasty take-out
meals.

11. And…

12. Or…
• Our recipes use
other donated
ingredients that
grocery stores and
restaurants would
otherwise throw
away.

13. Our customers are busy
professionals, looking for
healthy, hearty food to feed their
families.
• They buy our
packaged,
homemade food to
keep in their
freezer or use for a
quick weekday
meal.

14. The Outcome
Helping people, and
giving them skills to
transform their lives.

15. Profit
• Profit is reinvested
into organizations
that support
homeless people
transitioning from
shelters to their
own homes.
