St. John’s Breadline
​Springfield’s St. John’s Breadline provides daily, hot, nutritious meals, to give people in times of need the opportunity to spend time seeking jobs and education instead of food. Westminster raised $454 in 2018.

Get involved: Watch for the annual fall bread sale which benefits this ministry.
