Bricks to Bread
Bricks to Bread International is a nonprofit organization that helps build brick ovens for Costa Rican families seeking a sustainable source of income. Brick ovens not only help provide a family with an income, but they also bring communities together. The ovens often become a focal point in the town, a gathering place for community events, and encourage camaraderie by welcoming all to participate in the build.
Join the summer volunteer baking team
This summer, we’ll partner with the Alexandria Community Wood Fired Brick Oven to bake and sell bread supporting the mission of Bricks to Bread. Sign-up now and we'll reach out with details later this summer.
Notify me when bread can be purchased
This summer, we'll let you know when the bread is ready to purchase and enjoy!
I'm interested in future trips
If you're interested in future trips to Costa Rica through our Bricks to Bread partnership, let us know.
Join the prayer team
In March of 2025, Calvary’s Bricks to Bread exploratory mission team traveled to Costa Rica and built a brick oven and commercial baking kitchen for a woman named Ana Yancy, allowing her to create and sustain a business in order to support her family. As we receive updates from Bricks to Bread, we will send periodic prayer requests.
