It all started during the financial crisis in 2012. The shelter breakfast program at DESC was hit hard due to budget cutbacks forcing the staff to replace healthy oatmeal, milk and fresh fruit with prepackaged cup-o-noodles, granola bars, and day old bagels. We started off by collecting donations from friends and family to provide a healthy and nutritious meal to shelter guests. .
We started with a goal to provide one "special" breakfast every two months, with a balanced combination of meat, fruits, dairy and vegetables; while not compromising on taste. Today we serve two hot breakfasts a month at DESC and once a month at The Sophia way.
Help a life with an ordinary effort. Donations go directly to funding "ordinary efforts" and help us serve hot meals to under privileged people in YOUR community. Ordinary Efforts is a tax-exempt 501(c)(3) organization.
