Please Pass the Bread was founded by the late Rev. David Wilkerson, author of Christian bestseller The Cross & The Switchblade, and founder of Teen Challenge and Times Square Church. After 55 years of ministry he humbly reflected on the events of his life and asked the Lord this simple question: “What might I do for You at this stage of my life? And God’s response was: “David…feed the poor.” With this simple instruction as its foundation, Please Pass the Bread was born.
