DAILY BREAD IS DIFFERENT!
Visiting Daily Bread, especially our super pantry location, is a little different than other pantries you may be familiar with. Our guests get to choose all their own food, subject to limits based on household size and item availability. We encourage guests to make healthy food choices using a variety of strategies - some of which are obvious, some of which are not!
​
To make the system work, however, we need your help. Before visiting us, especially for the first time, please review the following information.
2020
​​Our super pantry is open Monday through Saturday and our Terrace Place location is open (for seniors only) on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Opening hours vary, and visiting either location requires an appointment.
​
To learn more and see available appointment times at the super pantry, please go here.
​
To see available times at Terrace Place, please go here.​​​​​​​​
​
You may visit Daily Bread up to three times per month. Please do not make more than three appointments each month.

Daily Bread's super pantry is located at 125 Park Avenue, Danbury.
Our smaller location that serves seniors only is located on Terrace Place behind St James Church. ​​

To allocate our food fairly, you get a certain number of points per month, depending on household size. You can spend all your points in one visit, or spread them over your allowed three visits.
​
Most items we offer are also subject to a "cart limit." This means you can only take a certain number of each item per visit.
​
Finally, a small number of items are "restricted." This means you may not be eligible to receive them at all, or only eligible to receive them on certain visits.
​
It sounds complicated, but it really isn't. We have clear signage and friendly volunteers to help.​​

2020
The first time you visit, please bring with you:
-
Some form of identification​​
-
Proof of address
​
On future visits, please bring your Daily Bread-issued "membership" card.
​
At least once each year, we need to confirm your current address and other details. We will let you know here and through other channels when this confirmation is needed.​

2020
Although we have shopping carts at the super pantry and Terrace Place, we do not allow them to be taken out to the parking lot. So unless you can carry several heavy shopping bags, you should bring a cart of your own.
​
You must also bring your own reusable bags. ​​​​​​

2020
​
Please be ready to answer the question "How many people live with you?" and a little bit about each such person (adult or child, whether adults are seniors or disabled, etc.).
​
You will be asked to confirm your income is below a certain limit (depending on the number of people who live with you). You can see the income limits here.
​
Our current policy is that you may visit Daily Bread THREE times per month.
​

2020
Our super pantry location has ample parking for all guests with appointments.
​
At Terrace Place, we share the parking lot with St James' Church. Please be respectful of posted signs designating spots for church officials and members.
