Power Breakfast
Every Saturday, Mission Possible hosts a weekend meal service called Power Breakfast for Downtown Eastside community members who wish to build connections to Mission Possible without yet joining the Employment Readiness Program.
This program is made possible by dedicated weekly sponsors and volunteers.
History of Power Breakfast
Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, Power Breakfast welcomed two groups of 50 people for sit down meals at our Powell location every Saturday. This provided folks with a warm space to enjoy a nutritious, homemade meal, and a chance to get acquainted with Mission Possible and what we do.
However, when the COVID-19 pandemic hit in 2020, our teams were quick to adapt the program into a take out service to meet the high demands for food in the community. At the height of the pandemic, our Power Breakfast crews were serving up to 350 people every Saturday. While demand has decreased from then, we have seen more than double the demand for this program since, and have continued with the take out style.
Sponsor a Power Breakfast
There are many opportunities for groups (corporate, church, school, etc.) and individuals to get involved with Mission Possible and our Power Breakfast. Sponsoring a Power Breakfast is an excellent opportunity for groups and individuals to give back to the community.
As a sponsor, your donation will be used directly to cover meal costs, and we also welcome you to bring a group of 8-10 volunteers, and join us on a Saturday morning to assist us in serving breakfast from 8 - 11am.
$1,000 fully sponsors a Saturday morning Power Breakfast. Partial sponsorship opportunities are also available.
