About the 5000 Foundation: Spreading Love Through Food

Spreading Love Through Food

The purpose of The 5000 Foundation is to spread the love of God through food. We have been running a little bakery for about a year now and realized that we love feeding people! There are so many people in our area without good, quality food, and are usually given very low quality processed foods from food pantries and food banks. We decided that the best way to help would be to use our bakery to help feed people that need it.

Our Mission

The 5000 Foundation?

Why did we choose our name?

The 5000 Foundation name was inspired by Matthew 14:13-20 and John 6:5-14. In this biblical account a large crowd followed Jesus and as night was approaching, the disciples realized the people had nothing to eat. They were going to send them away, but Jesus told them, "They need not go away; you give them something to eat." So Jesus made a miracle happen and fed them with 5 loaves of bread and 2 fish. Not only did he feed them, but they had more scraps leftover than what they started with. They recorded that he fed 5000 men that day (probably tens of thousands of people, but only men were counted at that time).
