Our Daily Bread Nelson, B.C.

Our Daily Bread Nelson, B.C. Nelson's hot meal program that is barrier free to all members of society. Hot lunch will be served from Monday to Friday between 12 PM and 12:50 PM.

Our Daily Bread is Nelson’s only hot lunch program that is barrier free to all members of society. Five days per week, from 8:15am to 1:00pm, ODB offers a hot nutritious meal in a safe and welcoming environment. Each day we serve an average of 50 to 70 people. Many of our guests at ODB have multiple barriers to self-sufficiency. Some of our guests are homeless and many are at risk of homelessness.

The daily meal at ODB is often the only meal of their day. Our guests not only receive nutritional health, but also emotional support. Our guests are able to connect with one another and share their life experience. Many of our guests find support for childcare and problem solving from the other guests, volunteers and staff. One of the aims of ODB has been to support people in finding meaning in their lives and help them back into society. Volunteers in the kitchen learn skills that help build a resume. Some of our guests use the office to contact employers, landlords, and family members. Our telephone, internet, and fax machine are used by our patrons free of charge. Due to the increased number of attendants at Our Daily Bread, we have put a new policy in effect as of June 1st 2010. People are asked to donate $20 which gets them a meal card good for 22 meals. If they don’t have a meal card, they are asked to donate $5.00 to cover the cost of their meal. If people are not able to donate, there are some sponsorship opportunities available or locals to Nelson can volunteer to cover the cost of their meal. We are excited about the new policy because of the way the Nelson regulars have taken pride and ownership in the services provided. In fact, implementing this policy was largely due to their suggestions. If you would like to make a donation to Our Daily Bread, please visit our website which is in conjunction with our church at http://kootenaychristianfellowship.com/dat/

Our Daily Bread is now into our annual Christmas Fundraiser campaign. If you have been a past donor to us you may have already received this letter in the mail.

This year we chose to feature one of our loyal volunteers, Chris. He has been coming to ODB to help serve food every Tuesday and when asked what his favourite part was he kept it simple and said "serving" with a big smile.

This year we expect Our Daily Bread to require approximately $160,000 to maintain. Despite rising food costs from inflation and tariffs we have continued to provide nutritious full course meals to everyone that walks through our doors Monday through Friday. More than that we believe Our Daily Bread is a place of community and Chris is a great example of that.

If you would like to support our Christmas Fundraiser you can do so by the following:

Cheque mailed or dropped off at:
520 Falls Street, Nelson BC V1L 6B5

The Our Daily Bread food bank, open every Thursday morning from 9 to 11 AM, is proudly supported by the Osprey Community Foundation!

Last year we opened a new food bank service to work in tangent with our on-going hot lunch program and it has been a great success in large part because of funding from Osprey.

Our food bank is barrier free and open to everyone from Nelson and surrounding area. We offer a range of products other than food: hygiene supplies, pet food, as well as women's and baby care products. If you or someone you know is need of these items please to do not hesitate to visit us. :^)

Thank you Osprey Foundation!
