Access Our Daily Bread's Services
Our Daily Bread’s Services Include:
- Financial Assistance: Small grants to help with rent, utilities and some other basic emergency needs. Funds are paid directly to the landlord or vendor.
- Food Assistance: We have a temporary Food Program which consists of a delivery of non-perishable food items to our clients’ home two Sundays a month for approximately four months. There is often a waiting list of several months to get on our Food Program.
- Financial Literacy Mentoring and Classes: Families must be referred to us and meet eligibility criteria to receive one-on-one mentoring. Our classes are free and open to the public. In most cases, classes do not require a referral, but we do ask that attendees RSVP. ODB is also partnering with Fairfax County, the Financial Planning Association of the National Capital Area, Reston Interfaith and United Community Ministries to provide Free Financial Counseling Clinics in Herndon and Alexandria.

- Job Search Assistance: Through a partnership with SkillSource, Our Daily Bread offers a Job Assistance Program to help Fairfax County area residents learn the basics of how to search for a job that matches their skills, experience and goals. Assistance is provided by appointment only. CLICK HERE for more information.
- Holiday Assistance: From September through mid-November, Our Daily Bread accepts Holiday Assistance referrals for qualified Fairfax County area residents from social workers. There will be three dates available in the fall when residents who demonstrate need can apply for assistance in person. More information on the 2013 Holiday Assistance Program will be available in September 2013.
- School Supply Assistance: Our Daily Bread partners with Fairfax County, Kids R First and many other local nonprofits to provide school supplies to select schools in the Fairfax County area. Families in need of school supply assistance should contact the social worker at their children's school.
Our Daily Bread is only able to provide food, financial assistance and financial mentoring to Fairfax County residents who are referred to us by a County or other social worker. CLICK HERE to see the zip codes that ODB serves.
