Feeding those who are hungry in Baltimore

Our Daily Bread is Maryland’s largest hot meal program, serving more than a quarter of a million meals to those experiencing hunger in Baltimore City each year. We serve a nutritious lunch every day of the year and breakfast to seniors and individuals with disabilities each weekday. The Classic Casserole Program at Our Daily Bread is the backbone of this program.

Since June 1, 1981, we have never missed a day of lunch service to those experiencing hunger in Baltimore, in spite of blizzards, hurricanes or any other occurrence.

Our Daily Bread is a place where all are welcome, where people whose lives are burdened by the hardships of the human condition are served with dignity and reverence. We serve with a passion and love for our sisters and brothers as we meet their need for food, resources, direction and the building up of the human spirit.

Every plate comes with a warm welcome and a smile that is always worn by the volunteers who serve.

Parish and organizational casserole donation schedule (COVID-affected)

Our casserole needs at Our Daily Bread Employment Center have changed due to COVID-19 and the relocation of many of our neighbors experiencing homelessness. Health Department regulations prevent casserole redistribution under most circumstances. As a result, we have shared scheduled donations and quantities from each church and community. We ask that you please honor this schedule so we can best serve our neighbors in need without waste or regulatory challenge. Thank you!
