The most preferable and simplistic form of a donation is a monetary one. You can offer that through our PayPal.

Mail or drop of a check to: The Daily Bread Adrian, MI 49221

We love it when donors come in person with a check so they can see how their contribution makes a difference. The Daily Bread has many expenses (utilities, supplies) to pay beyond the purchase of food.

A: At the Daily Bread of Lenawee, we greatly appreciate contributions in all forms. In addition to cash donations, you can also donate food or volunteer your time, both of which are essential to our mission of providing nutritious meals and fellowship in a compassionate and safe environment. Food donations are needed year-round, especially during the summer months when we serve more people. You can find a list of our current needs on the Get Involved page on our website. Food donations can be dropped off during our business hours. Moreover, we seek volunteers throughout the year to help serve meals and engage with our patrons. Your time and effort are invaluable to us, and we welcome volunteers to join our community and support our cause. Thank you for considering giving back in these meaningful ways.

Lunch is served Tuesday-Saturday from 11:30 am-2:00 pm and is open to everyone. No verification or appointment needed.

Please fill out our Volunteer Application to get the process started. Volunteers are scheduled one month in advance. The volunteer shift is 11:25am-2:05pm. Several groups volunteer on a monthly basis, so requests for volunteering on specific dates or holidays cannot be guaranteed.

Unfortunately, we are unable to deliver meals. However, you can utilize Lenawee Transportation or Adrian Taxi to visit us during normal business hours.

Most shelf-stable foods are safe indefinitely. In fact, canned goods will last for years, as long as the can itself is in good condition (no rust, dents, or swelling). Packaged foods (cereal, pasta, cookies) will be safe past the 'best by' date, although they may eventually become stale or develop an off flavor. A determination of what is acceptable will be made at the time of the donation after a quick inspection by our staff. Please call us at (517) 266-0937 if you have questions.

Due to limited staff and no company vehicle, it is helpful if items can be brought to the Daily Bread during business hours. With advance notice, The Daily Bread staff can arrange to pick up items from businesses. There are no pick-ups from residential addresses.

Items can be delivered to the rear door during business hours, Tuesday-Saturday 9 am-2:30 pm. We appreciate advance notice, so we can provide assistance and make room for the items.

The mission of The Daily Bread is to provide hot meals. We are unable able to assist with those types of services. Please contact your utility provider directly for assistance options or view the Lenawee Community Foundation's resource guide here for a listing of other agencies and community resources.

The current week's meals are displayed on a message board inside The Daily Bread and can be found on our Facebook page. The meals and portion size meet USDA requirements. For information, see myplate.gov. If you have a medical condition that requires certain dietary accommodations, please consult with our staff.
