Share A Meal Day- Happy Birthday to Us
Celebrate With Us!
Since May of 2020, The Breaking Bread Village has been bringing people together through meaningful conversations. To celebrate this milestone, we invite YOU to spend May 12th sharing a meal with someone, sparking meaningful conversation, and strengthening our community - on your own time, in your own way!
How to Participate
Here's how you can participate in Share A Meal Day:
❤️ Share a meal with someone - family, friends, or even a new connection
❤️ Record a short- one minute video- expressing why it's important to share space
❤️ Capture the moment! Snap a picture and post it tagging us on social media!
If you feel comfortable to record a short horizontal video, you could answer one of these two questions:
💛 Why do you think it's important to share space with others?
💛 How does sharing space impact us as a community?

Quick Share
Sharing a meal isn't just about food—it's about presence, intention, and seeing one another. In a world that seems to encourage division and distraction, taking the time to connect face-to-face can be a radical act of love and unity. It reminds us that behind every story is a person worth listening to. For individuals, it can mean feeling seen, heard, and valued. For communities, it strengthens bonds, builds trust, and nurtures a culture where empathy and compassion lead the way.
Creating Community Connections
ABOUT OUR WORK
At the heart of our work is a deep commitment to the humanities—fostering understanding, compassion, and dialogue that strengthens communities and amplifies voices. For the past
three years, we’ve followed a recipe for success:
✅ Creating safe spaces for open and honest conversations
✅ Honoring diverse perspectives
✅ Staying true to our core values
Serving Hope and Breaking Bread is another way we connect to the community on a smaller scale than Live Shows.
We spread cheer, education, conversation, connection, support, and light refreshment.
WHY JOIN?
Join us for evenings of BEing, thought-provoking stories, and deep connection with others.
Let’s break bread, spark meaningful connections, and create lasting impact—together.
Our Experiences
HOLDING SPACE
No pressure, agenda, or obligation- just community holding space!
“When others can’t stand, be their ground. When they can’t speak, be their voice. Holding space isn’t about fixing—it’s about standing in the gap with love, presence, and understanding.”
In February 2025, we created space to exhale, to be in community, and to find some light in the midst of it all.
Together we break bread, share space, and uplift each other.
LOVE SESSIONS
A few years ago, we launched our Love Session Community Connection.
We openly encourage and participate in intentionally creating connections in the community- through acts of kindness and love. Such as:
- Listen without distractions
- Write a handwritten note
- Virtually support a small business
- Hold the door
- Reach out to a friend
SERVING HOPE & BREAKING BREAD
We're extremely grateful to the Midland Area Community Foundation for their gift of a $55,000 grant to allow us to facilitate these Breaking Bread Village Community Connection. We invite you to participate in this and share your stories and experiences . The goal of this program is an ambitious effort to connect people from a background of vulnerability and abuse (domestic violence, unhoused, substance abuse survivors, and people from the LGBTQIA community) and those who work in the social and human service industry (police, social workers, judicial services, and the medical field). The program will have a three-tier effort.
