Welcome to Carolina Cares. It's ScottyBlaisdell and Hannah Tyler and a fresh face.
(00:04):
Actually we've had a chance to meetin a prior event that we all
attended his career day at an elementaryschool. That is exactly right, and
that's when we first ran into Gene. This is Jeene Woodell. He's the
executive director or president. If youprefer of our daily bread. And I
think the first thing I said toyou, I go, this just sounds
like a spiritual organization and has todo with food. Am I right?
(00:29):
Yes, sir, Yes, sir. We feed people daily money do Friday,
some Saturdays. But I'm gonn givehim a hot meal at least my
hot meal of day during a lunchtimehour eleven thirty to twelve thirty. And
how did this organization come to be? Came about by a little old lady
called Revan door Atlas. She startedthe organization uh thirty four and a half
(00:49):
years ago. She retired age sixtysix, and she decided she wanted to
feed people, and so she carriedthat vision that God gave her. In
yeah, prety four years later,we're still feeding people. She passed away
a few years ago in the Asiafrom ninety eight. Wow. But yeah,
but so we're just trying to keepher legacy and vision going strong.
(01:10):
And and we got great support forthe community. So we're blessed to have
everybody pitching in and helping out.And you guys are in Ashborough and Randolph
County right, correct. Hunger affectseveryone, yes, and in these smaller
communities. What a great resource tohave. Yeah, it is. Last
year we fed over forty seven thousandpeople, so it's been averaging around forty
(01:30):
six forty seven thousand pretty much everysince COVID. Who's coming to take advantage
of the opportunity to have a greatmeal. We have a lot of folks
that are, you know, workingpoor pretty much as they say lay they're
they're homeless. We have individuals that'sjust lonely and they just want to be
coming there to just talk to people. So we have some of those folks
(01:52):
come in. I mean we evenhave like first responders come just eat and
hang out and talk. So wefeed anybody's hungry, bringing the community together,
really, sir, Yes, sir. When someone comes there, it's
a brick and mortar facility. Now, huh where is this located and do
you need to let you know aheadof time or you just swing in?
Just come on by. We getpeople we in and seeing sometimes every day
(02:15):
you know the their faces. Butit's eight thirty one East Preacher Street,
Ashborough and g I'm curious, howdid you get involved with our daily breade?
Few people came to me and askedif guys over before me passed to
Michael Trogden was ready to step down, and the community came and asked if
I would take it over and prayfor it byt a couple of weeks.
(02:36):
I'm like, if I want todo that or not? But I took
it over and God's been blessing eversince. It's been just I mean blessing.
That's a blessing. Now. I'malways curious when you have a facility
like that, do you I meanyou have a lot of storage space.
It's just is it so transitional thefood that it doesn't really have time to
(02:57):
go bad? I don't know exactlyhow this works. We actually need more
storage space. I want to haveto get a bigger food pantry. I
had to buy a storage building actuallythe house kas in Wow, because we
were getting so many cans in,people doing food drives and just getting the
word out. And we've recently purchasedof an outdoor freezer because of some of
(03:17):
the businesses wanted to donate and wejust had so much food. We need
more freezer space. So Timpkin gaveus a grant of twenty five thousand to
help us get it, and thecity pitched in ten thousand, so we
got a nice freezer out there asit's getting full. Wow. No,
how long have you been with ourdaily bread? It'll be five years actually
(03:38):
tomorrow. Oh wow. So let'stalk about what you've seen in the five
years and how the organization has changedbesides just getting more faces in the door,
yeah, a lot more faces,a lot more donors on board.
I've do a super Kitchen banquet everyyear in February and it's about three and
fifty people there, so it's reallybig. That's what I got community,
(03:59):
our one time fundraiser to help usout throughout the year. Of course,
people still give on a daily,weekly basis, monthly basis, but we
also added where people can come andfind jobs. You know, we get
people jobs now we get people housing. So we try to do a little
bit off. I actually got aninterview today. I mean, I'm meeting
the day with RCC around Community Collegewith the president coming there at two thirty
(04:21):
to see how we can get somecomputer workstations all there and partner with them
and have and do everything on siteas far as helping them get classes and
sign up for classes and jobs.And a lot of them will have IDs
who homeless, so we help themtry to get their IDs and stuff.
And sometimes we've seen them in ouroffice, but our office is kind of
small, share up with my kitchenmanager, Caneita, so we go to
(04:43):
have them ount in the lobby areaand hopefully we can get these partnership going
well. It sounds like you're feedingmore than just food to the folks that
are coming in there. Oh yes, sir. And we give them a
daily word every day too. Wedo devotion, we do prayer, We
prayer, pray and it's just amazinghave life changing. It is to some
people because some people don't hear hearhow you doing, or hello, or
(05:05):
or get a hug. Every day, we hug him. We don't care
who you are. I can't gottatell us a little quick story. One
time a guy came in off hiscrime, and he was like, I
was ready to kill my sister,kill my nephew, and kill myself the
way they was treating me. Butthen I thought of you all, and
I thought of you, and Ithought of Miss Canidia was my kitchen manager.
(05:27):
And he came in and he talkedto him, pray with him,
and they got him to my housein a local little east side home area.
So now he's like a wait ofeverything off his shoulders. Now he
comes in with a big bright smile. But it was it was really touching
that day. It was really touching. So I'm curious again on the size
of this facility and what is adaily operation, like is it one meal
(05:51):
that you're serving each day? Andwho's cooking the meal? How many folks
are involved in providing this meal?Yes, definitely one meal of the day.
So we can handle it really becauseI don't want to wear the volunteers
out Normally. My kitchen manager nowI hired the last part two parts of
ago, so she went all overa year. So they'll come in at
nine o'clock and start preparing the meal, getting ready for a left because it
(06:14):
takes a couple of hours you know, prepare for eighty two one hundred people
sometime one hundred and ten people.So it's a lot of food we got
to get, prepare prepared for.And so once they're doing that, and
we got people setting the tables,you know, making sure we got a
little porks, flats and all that. You got somebody washing dishes, you
know, clean it up. Soit takes it takes quite a few people.
(06:35):
We have a lot of churches involved. Like the day we have Fosters
Street Church, the other day they'llcook and serve. So when we have
a different church every Thursday and toabout the week after month, so that
helps a lot because they bring theirown food, so don't use our food.
So I mean we don't have topay the pain, you know.
You know, we have probably aboutten churches on board out the whole month
(06:57):
and other volunteers. There are otherorganizations. Yeah, but now as well,
and I have to imagine you're probablyalways looking for a new volunteer,
so you don't wear the ones youhave out with how busy you guys are.
If someone's interested in volunteering, howcan they become a part of our
daily bread. Let's go to ourwebsite ODB Kitchen dot org and click on
volunteer and the calendar come up andjust click on a day that you want
(07:18):
to volunteer on. Four days.Yeah, it's also a donate button two.
If you like to donate to ourDaily Bread. I'll just tell the
folks that we can't pay the thelightbrard the light build with a Candi green
Beans. It does take donations aswell to keep the facility going. Our
(07:40):
Daily Bread is the name of thisplace, and Jean Woodle is with us.
He's the president or executive director,whicheveryone, whatever you call him.
He's going to answer right, right, exactly right. But let's double back
on that. And I know wetalked about a little before we came on,
but I think a lot of folksdo think let's just donate some food
items, which is always appreciated,But there are areas of your organization that
(08:03):
need the actual monetary donations as well, because there's people that are employed.
There's as you mentioned the electric billthere. I'm sure. I'm sure supplies
for plates and forks and knives,cleaning supplies their garage bags, a lot
(08:24):
of garbage bag trash bags. Yeah, what are some other things we don't
think about that's going on there behindthe scenes, and we do Tea and
Cooley do so, so we doa lot. We do a lot of
sugar per se. But we alsoyou know, we got a lot of
people like myself in Canda. Wehelp people get jobs now, people that
won't have worked. We want tohelp them. So we get people who
(08:45):
help them job applications, taking themto job interviews. We get a lot
of clothes doing edits there now,so we try to dress them where we
can. They can look pretty nice, presentable to go on a job interview.
Help me get a haircuffs, calla local barbers they're having to go
ahead and get them a Haricut andwe'll take care of the bill, or
they may do it for free.So and yeah, people get housing,
(09:07):
some of the homeless that want housing, and so the people that want to
be helped, we try to help. Some of them don't want to be
helped, but a lot of themdo. And so we probably found housing
for the like twenty twenty five peoplethe last seven months, wow jobs probably
ten to fourteen jobs. So wetry to do a lot with them.
Well, and I love how Yes, you are a great resource for food,
(09:30):
but that's not the only problem peopleare facing and how can we help
more So I love what you guysare doing and just helping expand the program
as well as Randolph County and thecommunity of Ashborough. Yeah, I mean
just the resources. If you haveresources we can use as far as if
you were a business owner or ifyou have a car that you don't need
or anything like you said, amonetary gifts is always always welcome. We
(09:54):
can help a lot of people.We try to do some renovations there.
The building and been there for twentyfive years, so it's time for some
changes. We actually about to dothe flooring and repaint the walls and my
kitchen manager to catch them and theysaid, well that's about time for another
stove and another like our in themiddle of the kitchen. So so we
need definitely some donations that make somerenovations too, and it's about time to
(10:16):
do it. If someone wants tovolunteer, say hey, listen, I
don't have a ton of money togive or whatever, but I can paint,
I can I can come in anddo some handiwork or something like that,
or you open the folks just sayinghey, I can come in for
a day and do whatever. Yes, sir, I definitely am. A
matter of fact, we have peoplecome to do community service towers too,
(10:37):
to the court system as some ofour handymans. They do work. I
have one guy fixed my Garberg's disposal. One guy was electriciany. He helped
change the break of box and dosome things with you look up the storage
building with electricity. So well yeah, so definitely we have a garden now
we get away over to twelve thousandpounds of foods the last three years.
(11:00):
My guy Tyler, who takes careof it, it does most of the
work. So we have we needto help in the garden as well.
So I love what you guys aredoing. And really you're right there on
the front lines of what's going onin our community that a lot of us
may not even know some of theneeds that you're seeing. And I know
you shared one story earlier. I'mcurious about is there somebody that jumps out
(11:24):
in your mind when I say,hey, who is somebody that's been affected
by our daily bread and a goodway? Well, I had I had
a couple of guys, a coupleguy and a girl at the last Suitkitchen
banquet, give her testimony about whata suitkitchen means today and Lakes Poultburg High
Level. One guy came out ofprison and he was in a halfway house,
but he came down to volunteer andkept volunteering and so he finally got
(11:48):
him a job. So he's doingwell. That moved up to supervisor now,
but he still comes back to Dailybrid about three days a week to
volunteer. He's got baptized two orthree weeks ago, so he's doing well.
So he's picked it a good way. He gives us a lot of
praise as well as the young ladywho has two kids and followed out in
her life, so we kind oftook her in and support her area and
(12:11):
she does a lot of great thingsfor us. Now she's started to own
the business as far as doing nailsand other stuff. Well, let's get
