Cheese Monger's Favorites Cheese & Wine Tasting - A benefit for The Daily Bread and The Daily Bread Legacy Fund
Tickets are $20.00 in advance $30.00 the day of the event
Bring in one canned food for $5.00 off one ticket, one canned food per ticket please! All canned food will go directly to The Daily Bread and 100% of the net proceeds of every ticket sold plus 10% of all purchases during the event will be donated to The Daily Bread Legacy Fund.
What is The Daily Bread? The Daily Bread is a soup kitchen program started in the kitchen of St. James Cathedral in 1975, when the church started a noon feeding program during the Easter season. As the Easter season ended, the church was feeding more than 125 persons per day, and Father David Page realized that some more permanent solution was needed to address community hunger. He contacted the Christian Service Center, which St. James had helped found in 1971. Out of that need, Daily Bread was born on July 1, 1975. Meals were served at a facility at 61 W. Jefferson Street. Champ Williams, founder of Skyline Restaurants agreed to provide the food, a service he provided for more than 1,000,000 meals.
On May 2nd, the Christian Service Center’s Daily Bread Program celebrated the serving of its three millionth free meal! The Daily Bread program serves free noontime meals from soup kitchens and dining facilities in downtown Orlando and Ocoee.
“I am thrilled that we have reached this milestone,” said Christian Service Center Executive Director Robert F. Stuart. “What started as an outreach of a handful of downtown churches has grown to serve hundreds of thousands of people in need her in Central Florida,” Stuart continued.
Last year, our soup kitchens in Orlando and Ocoee teamed to serve almost 125,000 free meals.
While we celebrate the serving of the three millionth meal, the daily focus remains helping those who are hungry in our community, one meal at a time.
“Unfortunately, there are still people who are hungry and in need in our community,” Stuart pointed out. “This program not only gives our clients a meal, but reminds them that someone cares.”
It took 33 years for the Christian Service Center’s Daily Bread Program to reach the 3,000,000 meal milestone. Now the Christian Service Center has set up a Daily Bread Legacy Fund to assure the program’s continuation into the future.
“Serving almost 125,000 meals a year places a severe strain on our facilities,” said Executive Director Robert Stuart. “That’s why we are asking our community to help us create a legacy fund to provide much needed upgrades to our existing facilities and a financial base for handling future needs,” Stuart noted.
As an example, the Christian Service Center needs to replace the tables and chairs in Orlando’s Daily Bread dining room. Each new table is about $155, and heavy-duty folding chairs are about $21each. So the cost of replacing 13 tables and 104 chairs is about $4,200.
“These are just examples of why we are starting the legacy fund,” Stuart pointed out. “We guarantee that any donation of any amount will be put to good use to assure that Daily Bread continues toward a four millionth meal,” Stuart said.
