Deseret Bakery volunteers give daily bread

The mouth-watering smell of freshly baked bread wafts through the air outside of the Deseret Bakery in Salt Lake City, Utah, USA.

But at this bakery, there are no customers looking to purchase a warm loaf of fresh bread or a bag of soft rolls. Instead, the Deseret Bakery is filled with volunteers who donate their time to mix, bake, slice, and bag about 4,000 loaves of bread each week for distribution to those in need.

The Deseret Bakery has blessed the lives of countless people since it began operations more than seven decades ago.

As Spencer Fielding Jensen, a volunteer at the bakery, said, “You just cannot do too much with good people doing good things.”
