Our Mission
Created by the founders of Flatbread Grill® and Thumb Bread®, Hold The Bread Foundation™ is on a mission to end food insecurity while supporting marginalized and disenfranchised communities.
Our team is currently compromised by the Esendemir Sisters (Fusun, Gonca, and Arzu), as well as our volunteer partners.
We are dedicated to combating food insecurity and empowering underserved communities through targeted initiatives that provide essential resources, education, and support.
Our mission is to serve those in need by partnering with local food pantries, hosting food drives, and organizing food donation programs. We are committed to empowering inner-city youth through educational workshops that highlight the importance of nutrition and self-sufficiency. Additionally, we strive to support families facing hardship by offering resources and hosting events to raise awareness and funds to further our mission of creating a more equitable and nourished society.
Local Food Pantries
We provide in-kind donations of our products to local food banks, homeless shelters, non-profit food pantries, and community organizations, as well as special community events hosted by non-profit organizations. Please reach out to us with your requirements and we will do our best to provide what we can.
Marginalized Communities
From at-risk youth to inner-city non-profits and survivors of domestic violence- our support goes beyond in-kind donations to providing workshops, donating our mentorship, and providing internships. Our goal is to inspire the next generation while also contributing to local organizations working towards the betterment of communities.

RED HAWK PANTRY + HUNGRY FREE CAMPUS
Montclair State University's Hunger Free Campus
To combat the reality and struggle of food insecurity for our community, Student Development and Campus Life has established the Red Hawk Pantry. On April 18, 2016, the on-campus food pantry opened for the first time and continues to serve the needs of our campus community. To assess these needs, a survey out prior to the opening of the pantry. Of the nearly 200 replies, 10% expressed food insecurity on a daily basis, while 15% expressed a need on weekly basis and 12% on a monthly basis. In July of 2016, the University launched a fundraising campaign to help sustain the pantry and allow it to become self-sustaining and continue to serve the needs of our campus community. Gifts to the campaign help the Red Hawk Pantry to offer more hours, stock more supplies and expand its services to our campus community.
The Red Hawk Pantry is open to all Montclair State University community members: students, faculty and staff.
