"It’s such a rewarding experience. You get to feed the hungry and they get to feed your soul. You get to see Jesus in the face of the needy and marginalized. It’s so easy, really!"

"Thank you for providing our junior high students with the wonderful opportunity to provide outreach in our community. It was so rewarding and beautiful, as the parent chaperone, to see our students humbly serve lunch to the people at Daybreak shelter. These experiences are invaluable. We continue to serve at Daybreak as a family."

"This is easy to do and very rewarding. If you're considering it, please reach out! Life is short and nothing should be taken for granted. Giving your time is the BEST gift and I really do feel that the residents at the Daybreak Shelter appreciate the efforts. I'm grateful to be part of this service, and feel blessed that I am able to volunteer. I double dog dare you to try it."

"Parents’ greatest responsibility is to help their children get to heaven. Why not bring the family to feed those in need? Model for them Jesus’ second commandment to “Love your neighbor as yourself.” Enjoy a couple of hours serving a meal together free from screens and full of graces!"
