This organization was impacted by COVID-19 in a way that effected their financial health in 2020. This normally would have reduced their star rating. Due to the unprecedented nature of the pandemic, we give charities such as this one the opportunity to share the story of COVID's impact on them, and doing this pauses our revision of their rating. Charities may submit their own pandemic responses through their nonprofit portal.
Our Daily Bread Food Pantry reported being impacted by COVID-19 in the following ways:
Revenue
How COVID-19 impacted the organization's operations financially:
During 2020 & 2021 we received CARES grants from the government to help with the 400+% increase in the number of people needing food. However those funds are no longer available in 2022 and we are facing a 29% deficit in funding. The number of those needing food continues to go up 25% in 2022 over the 2021 numbers.
How COVID-19 impacted the organization's delivery of programs:
While we used to be a "Choice" Food Pantry, where our pantry Guests shopped for their food and were given food based on the size of their family, we are now a "Drive-Through" pantry where we place a "one size fits all" bag of food in the trunk of their car. We used to develop relationships with those who came to our pantry while sitting across the desk from them while entering them in our FoodBank Manager tracking software on 3 large computers. During Covid we had to change to a system where we purchased 12 iPads and Skyroams and had our Registrars come to the car window and enter their data into FoodBank Manager while the food is being placed into the car trunk. . Pre-Covid we had 6 outreaches a month on 3 days of the week. Since Covid we are now open 6 days a week and have 45 outreaches a month. We have opened two new outreach locations during Covid and increased outreaches which were previously twice a month to every Saturday.
How this organization adapted to changing conditions caused by COVID-19:
We changed all of our processes from an indoor "Choice" pantry where Guests selected the food they needed to an outdoor "Drive-Through" process where pantry Guests food is placed in the car trunk. We added new processes to create the bags of food now used in the "Drive-Through" approach, new Registration iPads at the car window, added food sources, added resources and a software tool (Instrumentl) to the Grant Team to solicit additional funds to buy food, we implemented a website and a Donor Management system (Network for Good).
Innovations the organization intends to continue permanently after the pandemic:
As long as the number of people that need food stay at the levels they are now we can not go back to a "Choice" food pantry model, but must stay with the "Drive-Through" model where we can serve 7 families a minute in order to meet the 400+% growth in demand. We will also keep the efficiency of Registration via the iPads at the car windows and the additional outreach locations begun in the pandemic.

Activities
The nonprofit provides groceries to beneficiaries.
Program Type
Food Distribution
Beneficiaries Served
Program Geography
Time Period of Data
1/1/21 to 12/31/21
Outcomes: Changes in the lives of those served by a nonprofit. They can be caused by the nonprofit.
Costs: The money spent by a nonprofit and its partners and beneficiaries.
Impact: Outcome caused by a nonprofit relative to its cost.
Cost-effectiveness: A judgment as to whether the cost was a good use of resources to cause the outcome.
Outcome Metric
A meal provided to a person in need
Outcome Data Source
Ratings are based on data the nonprofit itself collects on its work. We use the most recent year with sufficient data. Typically, this data allows us to calculate direct changes in participants' lives, such as increased income.
Outcome data collected during the program. The nonprofit submitted data on the amount of food it provides.
Method for Attributing Outcomes
We don't know if the observed changes were caused by the nonprofit's program or something else happening at the same time (e.g., a participant got a raise). To determine causation, we take the outcomes we observe and subtract an estimate of the outcomes that would have happened even without the program (i.e., counterfactual outcomes).
We assume that the distribution of a meal from one nonprofit's food distribution program does not diminish the amount of food distributed by any other (neighboring) food distribution program. This “counterfactual” assumption about the amount of food distributed in the absence of the nonprofit’s food distribution program implies that the benefit of a meal to a beneficiary in need constitutes a net gain; the gain is not offset by reductions in food provided to other beneficiaries in need. We therefore set the counterfactual to zero.
Cost Data Source
After estimating the program's outcomes, we need to determine how much it cost to achieve those outcomes. All monetary costs are counted, whether they are borne by a nonprofit service deliverer or by the nonprofit’s public and private partners.
Program cost data reported by the nonprofit. Partner and beneficiary costs reported by the nonprofit or estimated by Charity Navigator.
Cost Calculation
$1,052,106 program costs + partner costs + $0 beneficiary costs = $1,052,106 total costs
We calculate impact, defined as the change in outcomes attributable to a program divided by the cost to achieve those outcomes.
Impact Calculation
$1,052,106 total costs / 1,291,840 meals provided = roughly $0.80 provides a meal to a person in need.
Benchmark for Rating
Impact & Results scores of food distribution programs are based on the cost of a meal relative to the cost that a food-secure person incurs to buy a meal in that county. Programs receive an Impact & Results score of 100 if they are less than 75% the cost of a meal and a score of 75 if they are less than 125%. If a nonprofit reports impact but doesn't meet the benchmark for cost-effectiveness, it earns a score of 50.

The nonprofit provides evidence of investment in leadership development
(1) Our donations for an Emergency Fund and future long term purchase (refrigerated truck) were being kept in our bank's Money Market account. We brought in one of our volunteers who has extensive experience in investments to educate the Directors on the options to keep this money safe but invest in a way that would provide more income to the pantry. As a result the pantry opened our first Brokerage account to increase our funding. (2)Two Directors who handle Grants for the pantry attended numerous webinars and did research to compare the various options and educate our Directors. One program was chosen and all grant team members were trained in the program. It is currently used to expedite our grant search efforts and tracking.
The nonprofit provides evidence of leadership through focusing externally and mobilizing resources for the mission.
Strategic Partnerships
Networks of Collective Impact Efforts
Thought Leadership
Raising Awareness
Community Building
Policy Advocacy
We engage in strategic partnerships such as Al’s Pals volunteer organization to help us distribute food to our mobile outreaches. Another partner is Baby Basics of Collier County who stores and distributes free diapers at one of our food pantries each month. Two local churches provide 2800 sq ft of pro-bono space for pantry food storage and offices. We are identified as an “emergency food source” on 211. Five local grocery stores provide food weekly that would otherwise go to the landfill. We raise awareness of our mission through our website, social media, three fundraising appeals each year, flyers, newspaper articles, newsletter, automated letters to our donors, presentations and videos to conferences, churches, civic organizations, local clubs, and foundations. We participate in networks or collective efforts to develop shared goals across multiple organizations such as Collier Food Council, Hunger Summit, Hunger and Homeless Coalition, Blue Zones, etc.
The nonprofit has an opportunity to tell the story of how the organization adapted to tremendous external changes in the last year.
The Covid pandemic required revision of all our outreach processes to comply with CDC rules. We went from a “choice” shopping pantry model to a “drive-through” model with an offering of pre-assembled food bags with dry goods, bread, fresh produce, frozen meat, dairy, and eggs. We reduced the number of volunteers able to work at any one time at our location and required social distancing and use of gloves and masks to do tasks. We required the addition of more food sources needed to meet food demands and these were all purchased food vs donated foods. We experienced 355% more pantry guests in 2020 than pre-Covid. In 2021 we increased an additional 37% and in 2022 we are seeing a continuing increase of 5% per month. We had to change our Registration process from one where pantry Guests sat at a computer to be registered to one where we now register Guests on an iPad supported by a Skyroam at the car window in the drive-through process. We had to eliminate some outreaches due to school closures and to meet CDC rules while at the same time increasing outreaches which could be done via drive-through. Saturday pantries have gone from 2 Saturdays a month to every Saturday. Food appointments have gone from 2 days a month to 5 days a week. We have increased our outreaches from 5 to 15 per month and we now work every day except Sundays.
