What does the Breadbasket do?

Our Mission: To minimize hunger and poverty through the distribution of available food and to nurture projects that help alleviate hunger and poverty.
The Flint Hills Breadbasket is a Community Food Network founded in 1983 in a small shed in which the City of Manhattan housed machinery. Since opening, we have grown, but we continue to offer food to those in need through community donations and volunteer support. Hunger is oftentimes an invisible tragedy, and for more than 35 years, the Flint Hills Breadbasket has been collecting and distributing food to ensure no one in the community goes hungry.
