Join the celebration! As of January 2, SBRM is celebrating the opening of Sunday Breakfast Rescue Mission Furniture and Clothing Bank!

Located along-side the Penndel thrift store, we have a furniture and clothing bank that will offer necessities to families in need.

If you, or someone you know, have been homeless within the last two years, live in Bucks County, and have a pastor or social worker file the referral sheet, we can help you establish your new home!

For information and our referral sheet, click here or visit http://www.sundaybreakfast.org/what-we-do/get-help-now/

Contact Jenna DeMarco at (215) 741-1010 with any questions.

We need child care workers during the work day for two beautiful kids at Wayne Hall! If you are available during any of the hours between 8am and 4pm to help babysit, please let Rita know. We really want to provide the opportunity for mom to apply for jobs and take interviews, so child care is necessary.

Wharton Lends A Hand

Food4Thought is a Management 100 team from The Wharton School at The University of Pennsylvania. Every freshman in Wharton is placed into a team that makes a direct impact in the Philadelphia community by working with a non-profit organization. The team is working closely with the Sunday Breakfast Rescue Mission to help raise awareness and support for those in need by providing homeless individuals with meals during Thanksgiving.

This year, partnering with SBRM, the team has gained the support of local groceries, neighboring communities and various food distributors such as Jetro, Campbells and Sysco. Each team member feels an obligation to give back this Thanksgiving and invites others to join as well.

Our team consists of James Brissette, Mike Casias, Victor Castro, Brian Coleman, Taylor Diem, Crissy Gambino, Bhairavi Madhusudhan, Andrew Gwyn Weis, and Arynne Wexler.

Thank you to everyone for helping us contribute to such a wonderful cause!

If you have any questions, you can contact our group via email at: bmad@wharton.upenn.edu

Sincerely,

Food4Thought

P.S. When you make your online donation, please put our name, Food4Thought, in the note line. Thanks!

50 Turkeys (16-20 lbs each)

150 lbs potatoes

150 lbs sweet potatoes

Stuffing mixes

Salad fixings

Pumpkin or Apple pie

Visit www.sundaybreakfast.org/groceries to see the complete list or to sign up to donate some items. Groceries should be dropped off at the Mission by noon on Friday, November 18^th. For more information, contact Bethany Flood at (215) 922-6400 ext. 109 or bflood@sundaybreakfast.org.
