Local Mission

Bread of Life

The Bread of Life is a compassionate ministry serving meals to those in need in the Alberni Valley, in addition to providing some health services and inexpensive clothing, etc. through their Cornerstones Thrift store.

Members of Jericho Road Port Alberni not only support the Bread of Life financially, but prepare and serve meals on the 5th Tuesday of the month (3-4 times a year). It's a great joy serving together, and even more fun sharing a meal and conversation with new and old friends. Contact Dave De Jong to find out more about joining our Jericho Road team as they minister at the Bread of Life.

NeighbourLink

The local NeighbourLink ministry originally started as a partnership with World Vision Canada, establishing a Call Centre for local residents to access help with simple home and yard work, rides to medical appointments, and more.

While this proved a valuable ministry in the past, NeighbourLink has recently transitioned to focus their efforts in the "Read and Feed" program that serves children in two local elementary schools with a simple breakfast and opportunities to grow in their reading skills. Other aspects of this ministry include the collection of winter clothing for children and the collection of clothing and supplies for the children of young mothers.

Jericho Road is pleased to support NeighbourLink through a significant and dedicated group of volunteers, as well as financial and other means of support.
