A SLICE of OUR DAILY BREAD | VOLUNTEER | DONATE

Hello Our Daily Bread Fans! 

We are so fortunate for your ongoing support of our mission. Your kindness touches so many lives. From the surefooted 9-year-old who visited last week seeking a birthday cake, and took home an awesome tie-dye backpack full of goodies; to the gracious dad with his teenage sons who stopped in for a hot meal today; to the 109 courageous families who received emergency assistance last month; and the 16 kids bringing home grocery bags this weekend. Our Daily Bread couldn't do this without YOU.
