Our story
Our Daily Bread began in 2000 when area churches came together to feed hungry and homeless residents of Denton. In 2009, Monsignor Charles King opened his church to shelter people during a cold winter, which led to Monsignor King Outreach Center. The two organizations merged in 2020, and on December 12, 2022, we moved into our current facility through a partnership with the City of Denton.
