Our Daily Bread

Our Daily Bread provides qualified Fairfax County area residents with a one-time grant that is paid directly to the service provider (e.g. landlord, utility company). Financial grants are intended for an emergency payment toward housing, utilities, auto repair, or medical assistance. Limited financial assistance for security deposits. The funds ODB provides are most often part of a "package" of funds that the social worker requesting funds puts together by receiving pledges from two or more sources to cover an entire bill. Individuals agree to attend a financial workshop as a condition of receiving assistance.
