Dear Friends,

We are in need of your help.  Tomorrow is our first meal of the month and we still have plenty of volunteer opportunities available.  If you are free in the morning to help out, or you can make it out in the afternoon, we would greatly appreciate your assistance.  These positions do require some heavy lifting, but the more people we have the quicker we can get the job(s) done.  

If you are interested in helping out, please email Bethann at volunteercommitteeodb@gmail.com and let her know that you would like to help.  Or, feel free to just show up.  We would love to see you there!

Sincerely,

Tim DeSchepper, President

Outdoor Meal Cancellation Notice at Middletown Academy

Dear Friends, 

I am sorry to inform you, but I just found out our food permit only allows us to serve meals from Dale Church.  This means we will no longer be able to serve meals in the courtyard of the Middletown Academy Building.  Therefore, our meal for this Monday, May 26th will need to be canceled. However, what we can do on that day is spread the word of Our Daily Bread's mission.  On Monday, Our Daily Bread will have a tent and a table available from 12pm-1:30pm with information about our mission and activities.  We will also have giveaways for anyone who visits.  We will need volunteers to help setup, tend to the table, and clean up.  If anyone would like to help between the hours of 11:30am until 2pm, please email Bethann Stanek at volunteercommitteeodb@gmail.com and let her know when you would like to help.     

This does not impact our meal sessions at Dale Church.  We will still be serving on the first and third Mondays of each month.  On June 2nd, we will be hosting Pat's Pizza.  Hope to see you there!  

Thank you for your continued interest in Our Daily Bread.  If anyone has any questions, please contact me.  

Kind regards,

Tim DeSchepper, President

Our Spring to Shine!

These past few weeks have been a blur for the soup kitchen.  After we all finally thawed out from the snowy winter, we were able to spring back in March and April for some exciting activities.  We collaborated with Appoquinimink High School and Middletown High School to help us design our special ad which is currently on display at the movie theater.  Thanks to their efforts we were able to kick-off our movie benefit night at Westown Movies on March 27.  It was a fun night with good friends and a movie.  We were very appreciative to have such wonderful support from our volunteers and sponsors for helping to make the movie night a big success.

While we were preparing for the movie night at Westown Movies, Salad Works started their discount coupon to help support our cause and Pat’s Pizza was getting ready to allow us to have another dinner to support the soup kitchen.  The discount coupon at Salad Works is still available and all you have to do is just mention us at the Middletown location.  We had an excellent night at Pat’s Pizza on April 3rd and we are ALWAYS very thankful for their continuous support as we work to bring a permanent soup kitchen to this area.

Last but not least, we continued forward with our annual event with Bob McGhee to host the Good Friday Fish Fry on April 18th.  We had a great turnout, the food was delicious and we are always so blessed to see so many people come out for such a tasty event to help the soup kitchen.

Thank you to the supporters and our followers who made these events possible.  We wouldn’t be anywhere without you!

Sincerely,

Timothy DeSchepper, President
