Food Run History

In 1985, a group of Christians realized that hot meals were served at Our Daily Bread every Monday-Friday, but a hot meal wasn't available on Saturdays & Sundays. This group, from various denominations gathered in the kitchen and cooked hot meals, which were then taken to parking lots to feed the homeless on Saturday and Sunday evenings. Every homeless, needy, & hungry person that came into the line was able to receive a hot meal.

The number of meals served per weekend in 1985 averaged from 35 to 40 meals. Today, the number of meals served per weekend averages 450-500 per weekend.
