Luken Daily Bread Food Pantry Inc

Mission

When we minister to God’s poor ones, we minister to God.  In our ministering, we must be aware that we are touching the very God who made them and us.  Our words must be gentle, respectful, and kind.  Our attitude must be merciful but not one of pity.  Nor are we to judge, criticize, or assign blame.  Our compassion must be personal so those we serve do not feel themselves a burden, but know themselves to be blessed.

Where Do You Find God?

By Rev. Dominic Isopo-July 10, 2016

The Daily Bread Food Pantry is the second-largest food pantry in Schenectady County. In 2024, the pantry provided 230,000 meals to our most vulnerable neighbors.

The pantry is open Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Saturday. It is staffed by volunteers, guests, community service, and members of Schenectady Shares.

We have recently opened a satellite food pantry in Mont Pleasant at 1040 Pearl Street in the Holy Name of Jesus Church.

The Food Pantry does not discriminate based on Creed, ethnic background, lifestyle, or color. All who are in need are served.
