LEADING OUR GUESTS TOWARDS SELF-SUFFICIENCY

Located in the parish hall of St. Thomas Episcopal Church, Our Daily Bread Taunton began as an ecumenical soup kitchen in 1985 for the purpose of providing nutritious meals in a warm and inviting atmosphere for those in need of our services.
Today, Our Daily Bread Food and Resource Center has evolved to include services such as dining, computer training, career guidance, self improvement and social services. NO QUESTIONS ASKED. ALL ARE WELCOME!!

Our volunteers are the backbone of our program.

Testimonials

I was homeless for three years because of heroin, alcohol and depression. I ended up living in a tent in the woods six miles away from ODB. I came to ODB for a meal and I got much more. The friendly volunteers served me salad, hot chicken pot pie and chocolate cake for dessert. They treated me like a human being and listened to my concerns. The director allowed me to use the address at ODB to receive a free phone. This kindness started me on a new path.

I have four children. When one was very ill with a serious heart condition, I needed to leave my job to take care of him. Our Daily Bread is so much more than a food source for me. I am so grateful to have this place where I can get a warm healthy meal, but most importantly, see friendly faces. The volunteers actually care for us in so many ways. My experience has encouraged me to help others in any way I can.
