On Wednesday, August 22, 2018, Our Daily Bread dedicated our Dining Room to Howard Husfelt in a small ceremony attended by William & Cheryl Husfelt (Howard's Cousin and spouse), the ODB Board, and friends of Howard's.

Recently Chelsea let us know that the donation was ready for pick-up and would we pick up the donation? The donation was contained on 2 pallets - about 32 boxes. Wow! On August 7 two ODB volunteers (Paul & Kathy) with their pickup trucks went to Amazon to accept the donation. Thanks to all of the ODB volunteers
Thanks go out to LifeHouse Church's Youth Group for the donation of hand-made placemats. This wonderful group colored themed placemat which were laminated. ODB looks forward to using these placemats over and over. Ms. Letitia and a group of girls dropped off the placements at lunch on Thursday, August 9, 2018 and received a tour of the facility. The group is already thinking of additional ways to do volunteer work to benefit ODB. Thank you LifeHouse Church for your support of the Our Daily Bread Mission by making our meals more colorful for the guests.
