CHRISTUS Our Daily Bread in Galveston provides guidance and structure to homeless clients as they develop plans of action to break the cycles of addiction and despair despair..  

While many Our Daily Bread clients can

access medical care, there are fewer resources available for acquiring vital prescription medications. Our Daily Bread’s Prescription Assistance Program helps clients affordably restore their health as they work. In the past year, Our Daily Bread filled approximately 500 prescriptions, valued at almost $7,000. Many of these prescriptions provided, help address psychiatric disorders, chronic conditions such as diabetes and hypertension and acute illness such as upper respiratory infections.
