The Lord's Daily Bread

Lord's Daily Bread serves Denver community members that are struggling with physical and mental health challenges, disabilities, immigration status, economic disadvantage, substance use, and domestic violence. The organization has built deep community trust over 25 years by providing respectful and reliable services to meet clients’ basic needs and help them navigate paths to self-sufficiency. LDB’s programs are offered year-round on an ongoing basis.

In addition, LDB carries out occasional on-site feedings in various locations throughout the Denver metro area. LDB's food truck program is a vital extension of its mission to combat food insecurity in vulnerable communities of Denver and Aurora. Since its inception in September 2023, the program has significantly bolstered LDB's capacity to reach undeserved populations, effectively doubling the organization's meal distribution capacity will approximately 200 individuals benefiting from each delivery. These individuals represent diverse nationalities, including countries in Asia such as Indonesia, as well as Ecuador, France, Kenya, Mexico, Puerto Rico, Senegal, and Venezuela.

This expanded reach not only addresses immediate hunger needs but also fosters a stronger sense of community and support among marginalized individuals and families, thereby promoting holistic well-being and resilience. Also, every week meals are being delivered to 35 older adults and individuals with disabilities who are unable to attend meal services in person.

Lord's Daily Bread is committed to providing a diverse range of healthy foods that cater to the dietary preferences and cultural backgrounds of newcomer youth, adults and their families. Food distribution takes place twice a week at convenient designated times and locations. Each distribution session provides enough food for several days ensuring consistent access to nutritious meals throughout the week. Additionally, two food trucks and a pick up truck visit 10 neighborhoods per week, feeding an average of 450 at each stop.

Volunteers are available during distribution events to offer cooking demonstrations and nutritional education, empowering families to make the most out of the provided resources and promoting healthy eating habits within the community.
