The DailyBread Marketplace

The DBM serves those who are at
an economic disadvantage and those who may experience food insecurity and are
in need of additional food resources. The mission of the DBM is to meet the
food insecurity needs of the residents of San Diego by creating a fully
functioning grocery market providing those who are economically
disadvantaged/challenged, and in need of food, to receive it with dignity and
respect. The DBM’s vision is to increase the food distribution and
partnerships, in an effort to improve the quality of life for recipients. The
DBM is a client choice grocery market which allows clients to choose their food items.
