Hello Trinity,
It's hard to believe that Our Daily Bread Ministry has been helping those in need in our community for OVER 15 years. In March, we wrapped up serving over 11,000 meals! This was possible only by the generosity of YOU, the Trinity UMC congregation, and our friends in the community, including Destin Harvest, Panera Bread, Sharing & Caring in Niceville, the Niceville Catholic Outreach, and the Bunny bread store in Fort Walton.
We have over 50 volunteers who faithfully and tirelessly serve in this ministry. Many come from the Trinity congregation; however, we have several from other churches and organizations. One of the longest-serving groups is from St. Peter's Catholic Church, and our newest group is the Korean First Pres. Church.
We are currently in the Sack Lunches phase of our ministry. We will continue to feed approximately 60 people daily, Monday thru Friday, and our needs will continue. If you would like to make a monetary donation or any of the following items
- Bottled Water
- Individual Bags of Chips
- Lunch Meat
- Sliced Cheese
Please drop them off at the kitchen Monday - Friday from 9:00 a.m. - 1:30 p.m. Stop by and see us! Sit and chat with a nice cup of coffee or a glass of lemonade. You could even sign up to volunteer when we begin the Hot Meals again in October. We have truly been blessed at Trinity. Come and be a blessing to those in need, and you, too, will be blessed!
Thank you!
Ranae Curtis
Our Daily Bread Supervisor

Books & Beyond May Book
For the month of MAY, the group will be reading "From Scratch" by Tembi Locke.The group will meet on Thursday, May 25 for discussion at 6:00 p.m. at Burrito Del Sol. Below is a synopsis of the book.
From Scratch chronicles three summers Tembi spends in Sicily with her daughter, Zoela, as she begins to piece together a life without her husband in his tiny hometown hamlet of farmers. Where once Tembi was estranged from Saro’s family, now she finds solace and nourishment—literally and spiritually—at her mother-in-law’s table. In the Sicilian countryside, she discovers the healing gifts of simple fresh food, the embrace of a close-knit community, and timeless traditions and wisdom that light a path forward. All along the way, she reflects on her and Saro’s romance—an incredible love story that leaps off the pages.
