Breadcoin Feeding Feds During Shutdown

Want to join me in making a difference? I’m Scott Borger, founder of Breadcoin Foundation, Ltd., a DC-based nonprofit that is providing a way for the community to feed unpaid TSA and other government employees and support staff during the shutdown.

Breadcoins are a food token that you purchase and give to someone in need. They can also be given to nonprofits meeting needs. In this case, your donation will help make an impact by providing funding to immediately feed and encourage beleaguered government workers, who have just missed their first paycheck.

We are raising $7000 to provide a meal for any TSA or other government employee working without pay. In conjunction with committed, participating food vendors, your funds will go towards putting enough Breadcoins in the hands of these workers, with about five coins ($2.20 value each) providing a complete meal.

Government employees can receive food tokens valued under $20 under the governmental ethics guidelines. We want to thank them for their service and let them know that the public appreciates their work under stressful conditions and without pay. This is but one example of Breadcoin being used as a tool to link community needs with generous folks wanting to meet those needs.

Thanks in advance for your contribution to this cause that means so much to me and the team that serves Breadcoin with me.
