If you don't know, Khadarlis' Community Outreach Center is our biggest program serving the greater Providence area. We partner with state community action agencies to provide free household goods to low-income and homeless Rhode Islanders moving into homes or apartments as well as disaster victims.

| A typical bread shipment from Calise Bakery |
We didn't know we would be giving away free food, too!
We had a pleasant surprise when Calise Bakey contacted us and began donating bread to Khadarlis to spread to the community.
We are now giving the bread to the local churches and hungry people!
Calise bakery drops the bread off once a week and we've been getting as many as 400-500 loaves to give to the hungry folks who show up.
In fact so many people have shown up, that our sign up sheet is quickly getting full. Not only is it convenient for others to pick up bread, but Khadarlis is able to give something away daily.
Giving away this much bread isn't easy! Since we're currently located in the Lillian Shawn Feinstein Senior Center, we are in a basement. We have to get the bread all the way down to our office! Thankfully, the delivery man and our volunteers have been so helpful!
Our community is hungry! Loaves are leaving by the dozens. And they should be since we've been getting everything from rolls to onion bread.
Just in case you were thinking about getting bread at our office, WAIT!!!
We're moving into a new office on 105 Dodge Street! Unfortunately we won't be serving the community until the beginning of January!
Thank you for reading and have a safe holiday!
