Bread Club of Wichita
At our events, bakers of all ages learn to bake, share recipes, and make bread to donate to families experiencing food insecurity in Wichita.
In addition, we invite guest instructors who want to teach young bakers the bread recipes passed down from their parents and grandparents, preserving family baking traditions across generations
Getting Ahead in a Just-Gettin’-By World (Getting Ahead) provides a pathway out of poverty. It is for low-resourced people (those living in poverty) to move from a just-getting-by world to a getting-ahead world. There are no lectures, but co-learning through “investigating” the past and a future life to solve problems, with discussions about resources.

Bridges Out of Poverty is a construct created by Dr. Ruby Payne and Mr. Phil DeVol to understand poverty through the lens of class and its hidden rules. Children 1st is providing 5 branches of programs. (Click the link for more information.)
