Community Loaves has been on a mission to donate home-baked bread to a local food bank.

Kehrli, who uses her home as a staging area for the ambitious project, told TODAY's Dylan Dreyer that the effort has grown from a small initial donation to the delivery of over 1,300 loaves of bread."Bread's been around for a long time," Kehrli said."It's four simple ingredients: flour, water, salt, yeast. But it's been around for thousands of years, and each time someone discovers it for the first time, it's like magic.

Kehrli and other members of the group have developed a simple formula for honey oat loaf bread, which uses locally sourced flour. Each batch of the recipe makes four loaves of bread; volunteers are encouraged to donate three loaves and keep one, in what Kehrli calls an effort to"thank them for their time while paying it forward.", an area food bank that has reported surging demand during the pandemic.

Sarah Gannholm, a home baker involved in the effort, said that in addition to helping out her community, the project has given her a new opportunity to bond with her father.
