Our story

Our Daily Bread began in 2000 when area churches came together to feed hungry and homeless residents of Denton. In 2009, Monsignor Charles King opened his church to shelter people during a cold winter, which led to Monsignor King Outreach Center. The two organizations merged in 2020, and on December 12, 2022, we moved into our current facility through a partnership with the City of Denton.

Active campaign

Giving Tuesday is Tuesday, December 1, 2026. Our campaign runs from November 10 through December 1 and raises funds for our Work Training Programs: the Ready for Work Training Program and the 55+ Program.

Why work training?

Participants build workplace and life skills, gain hands-on experience and earn a paycheck through paid employment, following the Work Works model of housing support, paid employment, skill development and supportive services. Steady income and work experience can help people maintain housing and build financial stability.

No fundraising goal has been published. Donations are tax-deductible under federal IRS regulations. Prefer to give goods? See our current needs list.
