  Hundreds of volunteers make a big difference in the lives of local families struggling to put food on the table. With a staff of just 16 employees, Bread of Life volunteers enabled the organization during 2021 to provide groceries to 37,700 households that included 107,800 adults, children and seniors. All told, BOL distributed 83,700 bags of groceries; delivered 10,500 grocery orders to senior citizens, disabled residents and COVID-quarantined households; distributed 3,036 nutrition backpacks to students in Everett public schools; and provided 47,400 prepared meals through its evening meal program.
