Bread of Life Equity Statement

Bread of Life is a diverse, inclusive, and equitable organization in which all employees and volunteers, whatever their gender, race, ethnicity, religious expression, national origin, age, sexual orientation or identity, education, or disability, are valued and respected. We are committed to a nondiscriminatory environment and provide equal opportunity for participation in our programs. We honor diverse life experiences and heritages and ensure that all voices are valued and heard.

We see diversity, inclusion, and equity as connected to our mission and critical to ensure the well-being of the people we serve.

We acknowledge and seek to dismantle any inequities within our policies and programs and regularly review our progress in this area.

We are committed to exploring potential underlying, unquestioned assumptions that interfere with inclusiveness.

We advocate for and support board-level thinking about how systemic inequities in the broader society impact our organization’s work, and how best to address that in a way that is consistent with our mission.
