Our mission
Daily Bread Fellowship is a faith community that recovers wholesome surplus food from local grocery stores and retailers and distributes it, free of charge, to people in our community who need it. As an expression of our ministry, we relieve hunger and reduce food waste by connecting donated food with the people it can feed.
Read our full storyHow it works
Good food, redirected to good
Every week, perfectly good food goes unsold. We gather it before it's wasted and carry it to tables that need it.
-
01
We recover
Volunteers collect surplus produce, bread, and pantry goods from partnering grocers — food that's wholesome but would otherwise be discarded.
-
02
We sort & share
We sort with care, then set the food out at our distribution so neighbors can take what they need with dignity.
-
03
We relieve hunger
Hunger eases, waste shrinks, and a community grows around a shared table — the heart of our ministry.
