Some of us think of catamaran when we hear "hobie", but HOBY means something a little bit different:

HOBY was founded in 1958 to inspire youth around the globe to lead, serve, and innovate.
As you can see, this group of young 'uns are learning the meaning of service. Service and experience lead to innovation.

Of the many wonderful souls who volunteer at ODB, Helen Davis was rare.

Helen served several terms on the Board of Directors of Our Daily Bread. Yes, her service and dedication were remarkable, but her defining qualities were her deeply kind nature and manners of a true lady.

We send our love and comfort to her husband, Wally, and her entire family.

Our Daily Bread is more than soup, more than a meal, and more than a soup kitchen. ODB is a community that sets a bigger table and meets the needs of people.

Do you know what makes ODB special and successful? If you don't, just listen to what Tom AgaseJay McReynolds, Mike DeFord, and Neal Brady have to say.


Having accrued 20 years of ODB kitchen experience, this team clearly states that ODB is a strong community of volunteers and clients because ODB doesn't allow judgment of anyone. What that means is that you come to ODB because you are hungry and you will be fed and treated with respect.

The Fab 4 are living proof that working for a cause without worry about who is getting credit enriches the souls of everyone. These guys act on the tone set by Chef Liz: "There shall be no judgment of any one. You will serve everyone."

Understand, dear reader, that this team of 4 is Chef Liz's power play: she challenges them with demanding tasks and menus. Think of them as her kitchen ninjas, able to execute the most demanding maneuvers.

So that you know, when they are not in the ODB kitchen "cutting up" (take that as you will), they are in a book study. Their latest reads? Things That Matter and Operation Paperclip.

We're counting on this group of four to train the next generation in all the right stuff, the stuff that makes them what they are.
