Our Daily Bread loves volunteers!

Last year they donated nearly 30,000 hours of time. It is a great way to reach out to help the poor.

We use volunteers to help with the daily meal, serve it and keep the dining room tidy and clean. Monday - Friday, 9 to Noon.

Volunteers developed the idea of Tuesday afternoon Bingo and now run it for us.

Volunteers can hold food drives for us, see wish list.

Perhaps you have an idea for a program you would like to volunteer to establish.

Volunteers also help run Kids Café - our children's afternoon program - which operates Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday from 3-5:30
