Thank you to our generous sponsors of BREAKING BREAD AT HOME
In 2019, Breaking Bread welcomed nearly 300 guests, including over 50 refugee and New American neighbors served by the IRC in Salt Lake City. With support of old friends and new, we collectively raised over $35,000 to support the life-changing programs and services offered by the IRC in Salt Lake City.
We also celebrated incredible Rescue Partners during dinner: Janet Ellingson, a long-time volunteer who supports our civics & citizenship classes and champions our work in her community; The Bicycle Collective of Salt Lake City which has provided hundreds of bicycles to newly arrived refugees; and Creminelli Fine Meats which organized the Discover Food Festival and continues to support our Spice Kitchen Incubator program.
Breaking Bread would not be possible without the generous and ongoing support of our sponsors. We would like to send a heartfelt thanks to the individuals and businesses who go above and beyond to support our work and those we serve. Our Humanitarian Sponsors who gave $10,000: eBay, Regence BlueCross BlueShield, and Wasatch Global Investors. Our Leader Sponsor who gave $5,000: Hamby, Jones & Associates.

The International Rescue Committee (IRC) helps millions of people whose lives and livelihoods are shattered by conflict to survive, recover and regain control of their futures. In 1994, the IRC in Salt Lake City opened its doors and has since resettled over 10,500 refugees. The minute these brave individuals step off the plane in Salt Lake City, IRC staff and volunteers are there to help them on the final leg of their journey and continue to provide critical services for 24 months.
