Neighbor 2 Neighbor
The Neighbor 2 Neighbor Initiative began in late 2021 with a simple, generous idea: three local families asked, “What if we filled the shelves at Helpline House with fresh bread for six months?”
I had no idea how that gift would be received—until I delivered the first loaves. They were gone in less than two hours.
By July and August of 2022, donations from 54 community members allowed us to fund the final six months of the year. Since then, delivering warm loaves through Helpline House (and Fishline) has become one of the greatest joys of my life.
Each week, my heart is full knowing something as simple as bread can bring comfort, dignity, and care to our community.
A Word from Helpline House
“Raquel’s bread arrives at Helpline House still warm from the oven, nourishing not only our clients’ bodies but also their souls. Our clients love Raquel’s bread—they ask for it by name and try to arrange their shopping days to coincide with its delivery. It never stays long on our shelves. It is rare that we are able to provide such a high-quality product, and our clients appreciate it tremendously.”
Help Us Keep the Bread Coming
Every donation helps provide fresh, nourishing loaves of bread to families facing food insecurity. This is more than food—it’s care, dignity, and a reminder that our neighbors are seen and supported.
Your generosity makes it possible to continue this weekly gift of warmth and nourishment.
Thank you for being part of Neighbor 2 Neighbor. Together, we’re feeding more than hunger—we’re sharing love, one loaf at a time.
