What We Do

Lynchburg Daily Bread serves a free, hot and nutritious meal every day of the year to anyone in need. In addition to our downtown kitchen, we bring meals every week to Altavista, Appomattox, Bedford and more. In 2024, we served 302,946 meals! That is the most in the 42 year history of Daily Bread. Our volunteers donated 13,260 hours of their time, and that's a value of about $444,077! Our #GivingTuesdayGreaterLYH greatest need is large boxes of instant mashed potatoes, protein (like ground beef and chicken), and #10 cans of veggies.

Interesting Info
  • In 2024, we served 302,946 meals!

  • Our goal: that no one in Central Virginia goes to bed hungry
