DAILY BREAD
​
“When you give a feast, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame and the blind, and you will be blessed.”
–Jesus Christ, Luke 14:13-14
​
Daily Bread was established in 1975 with the goal that no person in Central Florida struggle with hunger. Through Daily Bread, anyone who is hungry can eat for free, no questions asked. Daily Bread provides a nourishing noontime meal for families and individuals who are hungry six days a week at no cost to the consumer. In 2022, Daily Bread will reach a major milestone serving its 5,000,000th meal to the Central Florida community!
​
A STORY BUILT ON FAITHFULNESS
​
When Daily Bread began in 1975, the program distributed vouchers for clients to eat at local restaurants. Through the incredible support of several Central Florida churches, restaurants, grocers, hotels and bakeries a Daily Bread dining hall was built in 1987. Here, thousands of meals were consistently prepared off-site and delivered to the facility by a restaurateur named Champ Williams, and later through the commitment of Host Marriott. Then, in 1997 a vision to prepare food within Daily Bread’s facility came to life, and the building was remodeled to include a commercial kitchen where meals could be prepared and served on-site.
​
Today, Daily Bread continues to serve six days a week from two Central Florida locations: Downtown Orlando and West Orange County (Ocoee), serving about 350 meals per day! Following our scriptural calling, it is significant to us that Daily Bread be available at no cost and with no participation criteria. If someone comes hungry, they shall be served a meal.
