During the recent holiday season, Our Daily Bread Food Pantry (ODB) at Catholic Charities served an average of more than 1,100 households during November and December with the food benefiting more than 5,900 people.
As a client-choice pantry, people visiting ODB choose the items that they and their families will most enjoy. Accompanied by a volunteer, each person selects items – the number of items is based on the size of their household – from these categories: canned fruits and vegetables, meat and proteins, rice and pasta, produce, bread and breakfast items.
Catholic Charities uses cash donations to purchase discounted food from the Kansas Food Bank while non-perishable items from food drives are essential for keeping the shelves stocked with needed food items. Large food drives during the fall help stock the ODB shelves for several months, but more food is needed each spring.
