What is the Daily Bread food Truck?

 Daily Bread Food Truck is Buffalo’s first and only not-for-profit food share truck. When we launched, our philosophy was based on the “get one, give one” principle: when you purchase certain items from our menu, the money will help us provide a meal to hungry families in our community. However, as the need for more free meals increased, we pivoted to a truck that only gives meals away. During the past three years, we have delivered a little over 13,000 meals to families in need. 

Our mission currently covers families in the Windermere Elementary School area within the Amherst Central School District, a neighborhood near our base. Roughly 60% of the students’ families at Windermere live below the poverty line, and over 40% receive reduced-cost or free meals for children during the weekdays. Daily Bread provides meals, from late fall through late spring, for those families on weekends. 

Daily Bread is a completely non-profit truck. 100% of the truck’s overhead costs have been provided by generous donations that allow us to take every dollar beyond supplies and staff costs and put it toward food and hot meals for the communities of Eggertsville and Buffalo.
