Programs & services
We are Nelson’s only hot meal lunch program, and we serve up to 90 meals a day, five days a week in the heart of our community. We offer a range of programs and services designed to address the multifaceted needs of our community members. These include:
Our Daily Bread Hot Lunch Program: Our Daily Bread provides hot, nutritious meals to individuals and families in need.
Our Daily Bread Food Distribution Initiatives: Distributing frozen foods, a selection of lean proteins, fruits, vegetables, and nonperishable items to those facing food insecurity. We serve “to go” meals to individuals and families that are not able to access our services in person due to mobility reasons.
Support Services: Offering access to computers, mental health nurses, social services, and other essential supports.
Community Building: Creating a sense of belonging and connection through social inclusion activities, peer support, and volunteer opportunities.

Food Distribution Program
Our Daily Bread New Food Distribution Program Hours
Thursdays (9:00 am -11:00 am)
In order to meet the increasing demand for food services, Our Daily Bread is introducing a new Food Distribution Program that is barrier-free, welcoming all members of the community without any registration requirements. Please remember to bring a bag or box with you to collect your items. Our offerings include a diverse selection of fresh produce, protein sources, whole grains, and nutritious frozen foods. Additionally, we extend our support to families in need on an as-needed basis. Thanks to the generosity of our many donors and local businesses, we are able to fulfill the basic needs of those less fortunate in our community.
Food Donation Policy
ODB offers a sense of belonging and inclusion by asking all guests to donate towards the cost of a meal by volunteering or by donating towards a meal card.
We kindly request individuals to contribute $25 for a meal card, which will provide 22 meals, working out to approximately $1.14 per meal. For those who do not require a meal card, a $10 donation is requested to cover the cost of a meal.
