Feeding mouths, nourishing spirits.

Sadly, Lily is one of thousands of San Antonio children who suffer daily from hunger. Texas ranks one of the highest in the nation in food insecurity among children and families¹. Approximately 17% of Bexar County residents live in poverty² and San Antonio’s emergency food needs have gone unmet at a rate of 37%³. Daily Bread Ministries helps meet this need by collecting and re-distributing over 5 million pounds of food every year to churches and compassion organizations in San Antonio and the Bexar County area. These organizations then distribute the food to constituents in need, many of whom may not be able to access other community food resources.

Little Lily has had a rumbling tummy for several days. Her

family suffers from food insecurity due to poverty. Her mother

was embarrassed about their hardship, but sought help from

their church in order to help provide for her hungry family. In

addition to loving support, the church provided Lily’s family with

a box full of healthy produce and grocery items to help get them

through the week. Now Lily has a full belly and is a happy girl,

thanks to help from Daily Bread Ministries.

“Daily Bread Ministries works to spread the message of God’s love by distributing rescued food to area compassion organizations for delivery to hungry families and children in the San Antonio area and beyond. DBM supports the poorest of the poor in their own communities by directly reaching

out to them through its affiliates, nourishing peoples’ bodies and sustaining their spirits.”

Set the table with love.

Seth Kuehn founded Daily Bread Ministries in 1997 to meet the hunger needs of San Antonio

residents, and he has built partnerships with local and national food companies, catering

businesses, trucking companies, produce markets, and grocers to rescue unsold food and

distribute it to area churches and compassion organizations with direct contact to those in

need.

Daily Bread Ministries has developed partnerships with over 200 compassion ministries in the

South Texas area who distribute its rescued food to hungry residents. Over the last five

years, DBM has dispensed over 20 million pounds of food to such organizations.

Daily Bread Ministries is currently operating with only four full-time staff members and over

200 volunteers who work hard to make sure food distribution runs smoothly. Your financial

support ensures that DBM is able to continue offering its programs to San Antonio’s hungry,

distributing millions of pounds of donated food each year to hundreds of thousands of area

poor.

Food Distribution: Every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday morning, DBM’s volunteers

come together to sort bread, pastries, canned goods, produce, and other items into boxes

and load them onto partner ministries’ trucks and vans following a prayer of thanksgiving.

Kids Against Hunger: Daily Bread Ministries is a distribution partner for Kids Against

Hunger, a humanitarian food organization that delivers pre-packaged food to starving children

around the world. DBM assembles, packages, and ships the food product specially

formulated to meet the daily nutritional needs of a starving child.
