An amazing organization with deep roots here in Lynchburg, Virginia. Long before the big flashy…read morenon profits that bring in the big bucks to help locally, regionally and even nationally.....Lynchburg Daily Bread was on the front lines on the war against poverty and food insecurity. I have volunteered here for 5-7 meall services over the course of 11 years(not nearly enough) and every time I do, I am kind of left speechless by the amazing mission they are leading daily and how they are doing so with the quality and professionalism that is frankly, so strong that no 5 star rating could ever do it justice. For me to witnessing this impact first hand and seeing how they turn limited resources into a high quality, life altering, survival operation is invigorating. There are SO many non profits in Lynchburg, some would say to many but for me this is the model and this is the gold standard for which all others should follow. From their amazing Executive Director to their daily volunteers, all it takes is one trip over to their location on Clay Street location and you too, will realize it is the best of the best. For me, a deep breath is needed because if you are unfamiliar with this mission and environment, it can be jarring. For me stepping outside of my comfort zone is why I will, God willing, one day be able to provide them with a large contribution. I just want to thank all the staff and volunteers as you all are real life heroes. The number of lives you impact is astounding and something you all should be deeply proud of. Folks if you are a rational human being and believe that everyone in this great country should have access to the essentials, namely food and water then open up your checkbook and make a donation. If you are more of the, I don't have alot of money, but I do have 500 Facebook friends, host your own food drive....they will even provide you with a list of needed items AND if you arrange it ahead of time, they will bring a company truck to pick up the food you collected. No excuses, times are tough, lets help them today, tomorrow and as long as you can.

The store itself is very nice, but why wouldn't you put fitting rooms in this store??? I went in…read morethere once and I won't go back because I have to try things on before I buy them. That makes no sense. I don't like the return/store credit/7 day policy either, but I could deal with that IF I could try things on. So I went, checked it out, and won't be back.
