Our Daily Bread Food Pantry is thrilled to announce the purchase of its new home at 1818 San Marco Road. This significant milestone marks a new chapter for the organization, serving the Marco Island community for the past nine years. To support the transformation of this new space into a fully operational food pantry, Our Daily Bread has launched its capital campaign.
Pat and Scot Kaufman have generously agreed to serve as honorary chairs for the campaign. Reflecting on the biblical principle, “To whom much is given, much is expected,” the Kaufman’s are committed to supporting the pantry’s mission of providing food assistance to those in need.
“We are incredibly grateful for the opportunity to own our own space,” said Evelyn Rossetti-Ryan, Executive Director. “While we have been blessed with the support of The Family Church, their plans to repurpose the space we currently occupy necessitate a move. Additionally, the growing demand for our services has outgrown our current location.”
Our Daily Bread Food Pantry currently serves over 1,000 families each week through its mobile food pantries, Care and Share program for the elderly, Saturday drive-through distribution, and weekend food backpacks for students. The new, larger facility will enable the pantry to expand its services and better meet the needs of the community.
To date, ODB Food Pantry has raised more than $6 million towards the $8 million campaign goal which will fund the purchase of the property along with the lot next door (1824 San Marco Road), the necessary renovations, and the equipment needed to transform the new building into a fully functional food pantry. Contributions from the community will be instrumental in ensuring that Our Daily Bread can continue its vital work of providing food security to those in need.
Food insecurity is a critical issue facing our community. By supporting Our Daily Bread’s capital campaign, you can help us create a brighter future for those in need.
