Privacy policy
Your privacy matters to us
Effective and edited 11/9/2026. This policy explains what information breakingbreadforjesus.life collects when you visit, how we use it, and the choices you have. Breaking Bread For Jesus, Inc. is a volunteer-run 501(c)(3) nonprofit soup kitchen in Wellford, South Carolina. We collect as little information as we can, and we never sell it.

- Contact form: your name, email address, phone number (optional) and your message.
- Volunteer form: your name, phone number, email address (optional), the ways you would like to help, whether you are a student earning service hours, and any notes you add.

How we use it

Cookies and analytics

Some pages show content from Google Maps, Google Calendar and YouTube, and link to our Facebook page. These services may collect information about you under their own privacy policies when the content loads or you click through.
Donations
- We accept gifts online, by mail and in person. We keep donor names, addresses and gift amounts to send receipts and thank-you notes.

Children
Our website is not meant for children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect information from them. Young volunteers should sign up with a parent or guardian.
How long we keep it and how we protect it
- We keep form entries only as long as we need them to follow up, schedule volunteers or keep giving records.
