Our story
From a church-supported meal program to a one-roof shelter and housing program.
Our mission
Our Daily Bread feeds, shelters and cares for the homeless and at-risk in our community, maintaining the dignity of our guests and offering opportunities for a new start.
Timeline
| Year | Milestone |
|---|---|
| 2000 | Area churches come together to create Our Daily Bread to feed hungry and homeless residents. |
| 2009 | Monsignor Charles King opens his church to shelter people during a cold winter, leading to Monsignor King Outreach Center. |
| 2020 | Our Daily Bread and Monsignor King Outreach Center merge into one organization with a shared purpose. |
| December 12, 2022 | We move into a new facility made possible through a partnership with the City of Denton. |
One roof, fewer barriers
Both organizations had grown beyond providing only meals or beds. After combining in 2020, the goal became connecting guests to community resources that support independent living. Today every service is at 909 North Loop 288, Denton, TX 76209: the Day Shelter, meals, hygiene, the Housing Focused Shelter Program and inclement weather shelter.
How we are funded
Our Daily Bread says it does not receive funding from federal, state or county sources. We rely on donations, grants and community partnerships. The City of Denton is our only municipal supporter, providing grant funding. See financials and transparency.
