Through the study of world religious beliefs and principles, it becomes apparent that there is much more held in common by global religious communities than what separates us.

Through music, message and meditation, Celebration: Interfaith is dedicated to building bridges of peace through understanding. We emphasize the belief we share and appreciate the diversity by which those beliefs are lived out.

Join us each 2nd Sunday of the month at 6:00pm for a unique experience. Facilitated by Rev. Patty Becker and Rev. David Elliott.

We're building a food garden! By summertime next year, every square foot of land at the Bread & Roses community will be growing fruits, nuts, herbs, and vegetables for our community meals and for local soup kitchens and food banks.

If you like to play in the soil, if you have a pickup truck, if you have yard tools to loan, if you are passionate about organic gardening or local food security, or if you just like doing fun projects with your neighbors, please come join us!

If you have other skills, there are a lot of ways to get involved. Help us paint the shelter, make repairs, can our home-grown food, prepare the Saturday Supper, or build new furniture for the shelter.

The volunteer work parties are every Saturday from 1 to 5pm. Work parties are followed by Saturday Supper at 6:00pm. Saturday Supper Bread & Roses' volunteer hosts serve a gourmet meal every Saturday evening.

When the work party is over, please join us and our women's shelter guests for good food and a great time! 6:00pm weekly
