Our Daily Bread Food Pantry Receives Donation from St. Mark’s Episcopal Church

Our Daily Bread Food Pantry (ODBFP) received a check for $11,327  from St. Mark’s Episcopal Church. Additionally, St. Mark’s collected a record-breaking 2,030 pounds of food for the Pantry. 

"The members of St. Mark's have deeply embraced our partnership with Our Daily Bread, said the Reverend Doctor Jessica Babcock, Rector of St. Mark's. Four years ago, six of our members formed our first Food Ministry Team. Currently, the Team is composed of twenty-five very active members. Its sole purpose is to collect non-perishable food and cash to support Our Daily Bread's work to feed our neighbors in need. Our Parish donates thousands of pounds of food and thousands of dollars each year to the Food Pantry. The cash comes from our members and grants from the Episcopal Diocese of Southwest Florida. We also make our Annex building available to them and provide space for two monthly mobile food distributions in our parking lot. We continue to be impressed with the dedication of Our Daily Bread's volunteers and leaders. They are truly great partners in our outreach ministry." 

“Our Daily Bread Food Pantry exists to share the love of God by reducing hunger and building relationships in our community. Our goal is to offer nourishing food choices, encouragement, and hope. Our multi-denominational pantry is honored to be able to serve the community, and provide food hope, and encouragement to our neighbors in need. We are grateful for our partnership with St. Mark’s Episcopal Church and are deeply appreciative of their generous support.” shared Evelyn Rossetti-Ryan, Executive Director, of Our Daily Bread Food Pantry.
