Our Daily Bread

In 1989, Oconee Street joined with Action Ministries, Inc.- Athens to open the city’s first noon kitchen, Our Daily Bread. The Rev. Ted Staton served as both pastor of Oconee Street UMC and director of Our Daily Bread.

When it first opened, Our Daily Bread served lunch to a dozen people. Today it serves lunch to more than 125 people a day Monday-Friday, as well as breakfast on weekdays and a sack meal on Saturdays and Sundays. Our Daily Bread also distributes food, health, and hygiene items to guests, and provides space for guests to receive legal assistance, nursing care, and VA assistance, as well as offering free GED classes and computer skills training.

Zachary Burgess manages the kitchen, and Erin Barger serves as Program Director of Our Daily Bread.
