It is the mission of Radford-Fairlawn Daily Bread to provide the facility, preparation, and serving of a free hot noon-day meal to persons in need of such nourishment.

Description:
The Radford-Fairlawn Daily Bread (RFDB) is overseen by a Board of Directors and a kitchen manager. The manager serves as the cook and along with the assistant cook, they are the only compensated participants in RFDB.

RFDB serves a free, hot lunch at our kitchen/dining facility five days a week, to anyone who comes in and takes a seat at a table.

RFDB also has the responsibility for the Meals on Wheels Program for Radford and Fairlawn. Five days a week, volunteer drivers pick up the meals at the RFDB kitchen and deliver them to people who have been identified as in need of a meal and are unable to come to the kitchen to eat. Again, this is at no cost to the recipient.

RFDB has a third program which is the distribution of free USDA purchased groceries to families that qualify. This involves RFDB picking up a monthly order for friends who have signed the form that says they qualify. And distributing that food directly to the participants. The food is usually picked up on a Thursday and the food distributed on a Friday.
