Daily Bread – Food Pantry
Our mission is to eliminate hunger in the Ojai Valley and Ventura by connecting residents in need with food, promoting the value of nutrition, increasing self-sufficiency, and instilling hope. In doing so, our Daily Bread – Food Pantry helps ensure that food relief has a meaningful, enduring impact. We accomplish this mission by directly distributing food to those in need.
Do you need food?
We distribute food on Saturdays from 11:00 AM to 12:00 PM.

We are looking for volunteers to serve at various times during the week, especially on Fridays (prep day) and Saturdays (distribution day). Call us at 805-649-1515 to learn more, or fill out the contact form on this website and let us know how you’d like to get involved.
Want to donate?

Private Donations
We partner with both corporate and private donors. Without the generosity of the local community, we would not be able to provide the level of service that is so desperately needed.
The Daily Bread Food Pantry is open Fridays from 10:00 AM to 11:00 AM to accept perishable and non-perishable food items that have not passed their expiration date. We are also grateful to receive personal care items and supplies for babies and pets. Please call (805) 649-1515 to let us know you’re coming. Financial donations are welcome as well. You can give online or by writing a check to Calvary Chapel with “CAPP” in the memo line. Checks can be dropped in the Agape box or mailed to PO Box 1443, Ojai, CA 93024.
Please help us say THANK YOU to our community partners. We couldn’t do it without YOU!
