Bread Rising Celebration Through the Eyes of Bread Tweeters

On Monday, March 7, Bread for the World celebrated a successful  #BreadRising capital campaign with a dinner featuring powerful reflections by Rev. Carlos Malavé (Christian Churches Together), Gayle Smith (U.S. Agency for International Development), Kelvin Beachum (professional football player and anti-hunger activist) and Rev. David Beckmann (Bread for the World). Talented musician Joy Ike also performed and offered a short reflection. Three remarkable individuals who have helped Bread in many ways with their time, talent and treasure were honored: Bob Cahill, Bob Ayres and Pat Ayres. Here are some impressions of the evening through the tweets of a couple of people who attended the celebration.
