Veturia’s mission is to contribute to creating a
world (and specifically a community in Tampa
Bay) where generosity and goodness still prevail.
She truly believes and has seen how one act of
generous nature can help restore faith, hope,
and dignity in a person’s life and assist in creating
a future free of hunger. Veturia dedicates most
of her time and efforts toward her charitable
organization as well as to raising her family and
teaching her children her life’s mission of loving
and sharing with those in less fortunate positions.
Since the beginning, the Board at Our Daily
Bread has been collecting food, raising funds and
providing other vital resources to those needing
the most in Tampa Bay. With an all volunteer
team and an increasingly strong network across
the Bay area, this organization is making a large
impact that is spreading quickly. Although their
corporate and private partners are very generous,
they almost always tend to find that the need in
our community is greater than they can meet on
any given week.
Our Daily Bread was founded entirely out of a
heart to give. With very limited resources at their
disposal to begin such an endeavor, Our Daily
Bread simply began meeting the needs of our
Tampa Bay families and Veterans wherever there
was a need. Since then, Our Daily Bread Tampa
Bay has delivered food and provided resources
to help house and care for thousands of people
in need over the past few years. Many major
outreach programs now count on their consistent
support and assistance each week and month.
Currently, they are collaborating with local,
regional and national corporations to develop
relationships that facilitate consistent food
donations which in turn allow Our Daily Bread to
support other non-profit organizations that feed
the hungry directly.
